Peet’s House Blend Coffee Review

[spoiler title=’Click here to read the transcript. ‘ style=’default’ collapse_link=’true’]Welcome to coffee coffee coffee. This is your place for average Joe coffee reviews and today we’re talking about Pete. No we’re talking we’re talking about Mr. Pete. Mr. Pete and his coffee yes actually Pete’s coffee and tea is what their business name is, but… Tell us about him. Yeah so we’re reviewing the house blend which is supposed to be bright and balanced and it’s a deep roast which I assume means dark roast. Yeah. But all these coffee companies have different ways of saying things so. Yeah it was talking about cost $8.98 for a 12 ounce bag. Yeah, which is $12 a pound so this is basically almost almost as expensive as you know like a something you would get from you know a regular like a local roaster. Right. So that’s something to bear in mind when comparing quality. Yes let’s see this bag says to use two tablespoons mm-hmm instead of the usually it says rounded so. So not only is it pricey it also says to use twice as much as the other one even even those like the Sweetwater organics only said one tablespoon and this says two so it says we’re gonna charge you more and you have to use more. Right yeah and that’s another thing too is we’ve noticed with some of the coffees we don’t like as much that if you will double it to two tablespoons it usually helps the flavor along so that’s a tip. Like if you if there’s a coffee that you buy that you don’t really like.. Right. A lot just try doubling the amount of coffee you might find that you enjoy that flavor better so. Mm-hmm that’s true. So we tried it several different ways one tablespoon per six fluid ounce cup two tablespoons per six fluid ounce cup one and a half tablespoons per six fluid ounce cup heaping tablespoon per 6 fluid ounce cup. And this one is a heaping so we’ll try it and let you know what we like. We’ve done the others already. Well I gotta say I do like this coffee. It’s good. It’s consistently good. Yeah this is the best way one heaping tablespoon per six fluid ounce cup is the best way. Yeah. But that still makes it you know if you’re talking about $12 for a pound still pretty pricey cup for at home brewing. Yeah it’s fairly expensive so so it’s like a treat coffee. Yeah. I would say but… Pete’s treats. Yeah your mom I think this is her favorite coffee is Pete’s. Yeah. Maybe not this particular blend but I see why she likes it so much cause I’ve really enjoyed all the Peet’s that I’ve had at her house over the years. Yeah and sometimes you can get it on sale buy one get one free at Publix or Kroger or Albertsons or wherever you may be that sells fine quality coffees. Yeah. I doubt Dollar Tree has it. They do but the bag is it’s a it’s a k-cup size. Right so overall would we buy it again. I think if the price were right yes. I don’t want to I don’t want to pay three times as much or twice as much you know right for a cup of coffee that’s just as good maybe a little better than Seattle’s best signature blend number four I don’t know. I think it’s a couple of steps up from that but I don’t know. I really like one. Yeah it was really good but but yeah I really like this one. I like Pete’s. I’m a peetnik. That’s what they call people that like Peet’s. Probably because it comes from California. Right. Berkeley, California. The… It was founded in Berkeley California yeah not like we’re randomly mentioning Berkeley. Right no, but the the flavor is it I don’t know that there’s any sort of a hint of anything that we…. I’d like to come up with something so that we can tag it that way on our review site at coffee coffee coffee show.com but I don’t know. I think maybe a little bit of nuttiness or chocolaty just yeah. Maybe. Yeah we tend to like the coffees better that are a little chocolaty or maybe caramel or something like that. But not the verdant and the herb-y. Right. beep beep Herby. Oh. That’s not how you say it yeah but so yeah okay. So if you have any other coffees that you would like for us to review you can send us a message on Facebook Instagram or YouTube you can put it down there in the little thing comment and we will reply with our address and a purchase order. Would you stop? O kay no. All right we will send the money. If you are the coffee maker and you want us to try your thing let us know and we’ll see about trying it. Okay. And we’ll pay for it. Oh right yeah yeah. Okay so until next time… grind away.[/spoiler]
