Peet’s Organic French 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 coffee is Organically French.

– So today we are reviewing Peets Coffee Organic French Roast and so we’ve reviewed the french roast in the past.

– Mm-hmm.

– And I can’t remember what we rated it but it was positive I believe.

– I’m sure.

– Um, I don’t know that there’s any Peets that has been bad.

– No.

– No.

– No, lower than almost perfect but

– Yeah.

– not bad.

– But really good. So this is USDA certified organic. Cost on this, do you remember?

– It was on sale at Target.

– Yeah, that’s right for 7.99 a bag.

– 7.99, that’s right.

– But it’s not always that cheap.

– No.

– But it’s always worth it to me.

– Mm-hmm, I actually was at Publix looking for firewood yesterday and I checked out the coffee prices. I didn’t buy any. But all of the Peets was 7.99.

– Oh.

– At that Publix.

– Huh, interesting. Maybe we had a higher priced Publix that we were going to.

– Yeah.

– Yeah, so.

– Why don’t we dig in.

– Right, did I say what you’re supposed to taste, coffee forward?

– Oh, no.

– Coffee forward, which we still don’t know what does that mean? That was on the other bag too.

– Yes.

– Smokey, bittersweet and hints of caramel.

– Maybe it just means that it’s not classic coffee taste, it’s coffee forward.

– Yeah, like.

– We’re doing something special.

– We’re pushin’ the boundaries on coffee taste.

– Yeah.

– Well.

– Let me just say first we’re drinking out of our new Contigo travel mugs. They have a ceramic lining on the inside instead of metal.

– Which is nice.

– Yeah, so that way you, as it says on the thing, taste your drink not your mug.

– Mm-hmm.

– And it’s true.

– Yeah.

– We did it with unsweet tea last night and it was. It was just like

– Really nice.

– ice tea.

– Mm-hmm. And it does a good job of keeping the hot hot and the cold cold.

– That’s right.

– So Peets is again I think my favorite brand right now, I think without a doubt.

– Overall.

– Yeah. It has replaced, well Caribou and Peets, they’re both really good but I love Peets’ taste. This one is so dense and roasty.

– Mm-hmm, yeah I definitely get

– Dense, deep, I don’t know, like really good.

– Yeah, I definitely get roasty. It does say hints of caramel and there’s a little bit of that I think.

– Yeah, there’s just yeah

– Yeah, little bit of hints of course.

– Yeah, yeah, a little bit of bitterness. I said bittersweet but it’s, you know Peets always has that little bit of bitterness that I enjoy.

– Mm-hmm.

– I will say and I think it was the regular french roast, it was smokey and it was supposed to, it was like too smokey for me but this is not too smokey for me.

– Mm-hmm.

– It’s like really nice.

– Yeah, sorry if there’s a little bit of wind noise. If you’re wondering where we are, we’re at Sand Lake in Apopca, I think is where this would be considered near Wekiwa Springs State Park or it’s part of Wekiwa Springs State Park.

– Right, mm-hmm.

– Um, so overall what would you say doughnut wise? I don’t think we can go to the five. You wanna go to five.

-Right.

– You wanna go to five.

– Four and a half, can we do four and a half? I really like it, especially.

– I think that would be fair, yeah.

– Yeah, especially at 7.99. If that’s like the price now, I’m all for it.

– Yeah, I would say four and a half also. Well if you’ve had any of the Peets Organic roasts, we noticed these for the first time at Target when we bought ’em, this green and black bag, we hadn’t seen before. But if you had any of the organic ones, especially this organic french roast, let us know what you thought about it in the comments below.

– And do you think that it’s different, like can you taste the difference, organic versus non-organic. So far with the coffee it kinda seems like there is a difference.

– Yeah.

– I’m shocked.

– Certainly Seattle’s Best. Seattle’s Best is maybe. If you’ve been electrocuted you’re probably bright yellow. But certainly Seattle’s Best, the organic ones seem to be better than their counterparts.

– Mm-hmm, yeah.

– Better on the organic.

– Yeah, yeah, go figure.

– But, I don’t know. Again, anyway thanks for joining us and until next time, keep grindin’.[/spoiler]
