[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 coffee is good in theory, but how about in practice?
– Today we are reviewing Peet’s Big Bang, which we originally had at a friend’s house and it was really good, and then actually somebody asked us about it. I think recently, right? And then we said, “Okay, we’re definitely gonna try to find it.”
– We’ll be sure to let them know that we’ve done it.
– Right, yeah. So, it is a medium roast from Peet’s. It’s supposed to have a vibrant blast of tropical fruit in a smooth-
– Banana, mango! I don’t know, what else? Comes out at ya.
– Smoothed at medium style.
– Oh, vibrant blast. Not violent blast.
– I thought, blast, yeah, but anyway.
– Blast sounds more like pew, pew.
– Right, there you go.
– Blaster on Star Wars.
– Right, so I love Peet’s. I’m definitely a Peetnik. You’re kind of-
– Yeah, I’m here and there.
– He’s Peetnik-ish, I would say.
– Sometimes it’s a little too coffee for me. Know what I mean?
– There’s no such thing.
– Well, people have different flavor profiles.
– That’s true, yeah.
– But we’re pretty close.
– Right, I’m a darker. You are pretty dark but I like Peet’s because it tends to be really dark and roasty and delicious.
– You’ll notice I’m kind of leaning over.
– ‘Cause you love me.
– Yes. Well, I always do that. Also I’m sitting on the couch funny.
– Did we talk about the price?
– No, the price, I think, was originally $9 for the bag. And I paid $6.99.
– That was a good deal.
– Which is pretty close to $7.
– Mmhmm. But Peet’s does tend to be on the higher side but I always think it’s worth it. Even not on sale I would buy it.
– So one thing that I’m tasting in here is it does mention the tropical fruit. I get a little bit of fruitiness in my coffee.
– Yeah, I don’t get any, and I’m wondering, is that because there’s cream in my cup.
– The capsaicin.
– What? That is not-
– It cancels out the tropical blast.
– No, that’s peppers.
– Violent blast.
– Anyway, the point is-
– Killers of capsaicin.
– I don’t taste that but I do taste… It is smooth. I think it is smooth. It doesn’t have that bitterness that Peet’s sometimes does have, so I think this is one of those, if you normally think, “Oh Peet’s is good but it’s a little too bitter,” this is probably a good one for you to try.
– Check it out.
– Yeah. It is really good, I think. Did you have any other flavor notes?
– No, I don’t think so. I don’t think so.
– Yeah, it’s really good. Even though I would say it is balanced or whatever, it’s got good flavor. It’s not bland, it’s got good flavor.
– You can taste different things in it, other than just a, I don’t really know,
– It is roosty. Did I say roosty? Roasty, yeah. I like it.
– What do you think for a donut rating on this one? Four?
– Four big ones.
– I couldn’t see your hand.
– Oh.
– I mean, I could see your hand but just the side of it. Can you tell how many… Actually you can because you see my thumb back here. Hey little thumb… I don’t know, that’s probably a kid song.
– Where is Thumbkin?
– That’s what it is.
– That’s a fun song. Anyway. I remember Ezra used to sing that, anyway.
– He’s our oldest.
– Yeah, he’s 12, or almost 12 now. He would not even remember that probably.
– But he still would probably sing it if we talked to him.
– He probably would.
– Well, thanks for joining us. If you’ve had any Peet’s Coffee before or you got this one that you really like, just like somebody recommended the Big Bang… I’m sorry I don’t have their name written down here. It was on YouTube and they recommended it.
– Shout-out to Mark Kaufman, he’s the one that originally introduced us to Big Bang.
– That’s right, at his house. But, if you’ve had any or you’ve got another Peet’s that you’d like us to try, let us know in the comments below and until next time-
– Keep grindin’.
