Peet's Coffee Ground Coffee Dark Roast

Overview

This is an 18 ounce bag of Peet's Organic French Roast, ground for drip brewers and pour-over setups such as a Chemex. The beans come from high-altitude Latin American farms in Guatemala and Colombia, sold as organic certified dark roast with chocolate truffle, smoke and caramel notes.

Peet's positions this ground bag specifically for drip and pour-over, and points espresso, cold brew and French press drinkers toward its whole bean coffees instead so they can grind to suit that method. High altitude growing is called out as the reason the beans hold onto brightness even after a deep roast.

• 18 oz ground dark roast
• USDA Organic French Roast
• Guatemala and Colombia origin beans
• Suited to drip brewers and pour-over/Chemex

Who it's for

Best for drip machine and Chemex pour-over users who want a certified organic dark roast. Not the right pick if your main brewer is an espresso machine, cold brew setup or French press, since Peet's steers those methods to a whole bean product.

Strengths and trade-offs

Performance notes

Slower maturation at high altitude is credited with making the Guatemalan and Colombian cherries denser and more flavor packed, which the brand says lets the beans keep some brightness even under a deep roast. The grind is set for drip and pour-over extraction rather than the finer or coarser grinds other methods need.
