Peet’s Italian Roast Coffee Review


[spoiler title=’Click here to read the transcript. ‘ style=’default’ collapse_link=’true’]- Hey, welcome to Coffee Coffee Coffee, your place for average Joe coffee reviews. Today’s review is for all you Peetniks out there.

– So today we’re reviewing Peet’s coffee, the Italian roast. Which is a dark roast. First of all, I’m a big Peetnik. I love Peet’s. There are so many good. It’s like, every time I drink their coffee, it’s always good. It just is. It smells like even, this is closed, and it smells amazing. I’m a big fan. It is a bit on the pricier side of things. Like eight dollars a bag.

– Yeah, which is a little bit more than some, yeah.

– Worth it, worth it, worth it. Totally worth it. Anyway, started back in Berkeley. Not back, well back in Berkeley, back in 1966, Mr. Peet. He was a real person, Alfred Peet. Started a business, so.

– Interesting that in the mid-sixties, in Berkeley California, somebody was starting a business. Right? While other people were doing other things, he’s like. “I’m gonna start a business.”

– Yeah.

– And become rich. So the coffee itself is their Italian roast, and it’s supposed to be smoky and sweet, intense and perfect. Perfecto is what it says.

– Right.

– But is it?

– I don’t wanna put down the back cause it smells so good. I’ll get the coffee. There’s yours.

– Mmm, I got hot mug. Just like her face, it’s a hot mug.

-Okay.

– All right, so, hey, here’s what’s interesting. This is Peet’s Coffee, and my mug says PC. Don’t look at that bottom part.

– PC.

– PC.

– Ah, like Peet’s Coffee.

– Yeah, but different.

– Yeah, it’s totally different.

– So.

– Let’s see.

– So, I really like this coffee. Even though this cup is a little bit cooler than I would prefer it, but, yeah.

– Yeah.

– That’s the hazard of making videos about coffee. It’s not always the hottest, but… But sometimes, actually, little tip, you can taste different flavors as it cools down a lot of times especially if there’s a coffee that we don’t particularly like, sometimes it really helps to get that flavor when it’s cooler somehow. It’s like easier to be like, “Oh, that’s what that thing is.”

– Right, yeah. But we did find out our coffeemaker brews coffee at the appropriate temperature.

– Yeah, between 95 and…

– No, 195 and 205.

– Oh right. Yeah, 95 wouldn’t.

– Yeah, temped at disgustingness. So yeah. Just below bath water.

– So.

– Yeah so. Okay, so this is to me rich and delicious. Kinda chocolatey.

– Yeah, I would say a little bit.

– A little bit chocolatey. I don’t know, do you pick up any flavors that I haven’t said?

– Maybe a little nutty.

– I was just about to say nutty, but I didn’t wanna change your

– Which nutty and chocolatey tend to be close when you’re talking about the flavors.

– Yeah, but there is a definite difference between those two things. Like we’ve had some coffees that are really nutty like that one, the gourmet one. Gourmet New York coffee, it’s a very nutty blend, but this, I taste a little bit of nuttiness. Overall, I love this coffee. Really, really good.

– Mmhmm. Yeah, it’s good coffee. If you have had Peet’s Coffee or haven’t and you’d like to try some, you can find it at a local grocer. Or there’s a link to it on Amazon in this description if you wanna get it there.

– Right.

– But let us know in the comments what you think about Peet’s coffee. Whether it’s this blend or another roast. Actually this isn’t a blend, it’s a roast.

– Right.

– There’s a difference there. But yeah, let us know.

– Yeah. Oh, and so how many doughnuts out of five?

– Oh, what do you think?

– Four…

– Four and a quarter, no.

– We’ll say four, I think, because the price is a little higher.

– Yeah.

– If it were a little cheaper, we’d probably go to four and a half.

– I might even go to four and a half anyway, but this is, you know, a group effort so we’ll go with four.

– We always go with the lower when there’s a conflict.

– Yeah, yeah, conflict interest.

– So four doughnuts out of five which means it’s really good in our eyes.

– Totally would buy it again.

– All right, well, thanks for joining us again for another coffee review and until next time.

– Keep grinding.
