Review – Peet’s House Blend

House Blend by Peet’s Coffee

When you first open the bag, this coffee fills the room with its aroma.

The beans of this dark roast coffee have a very nice sheen of oil on them and they have small oily spots where it pools up on each bean - see the photo.



I made up the coffee I tasted in a French Press. The beauty of French Press coffee is that it is unfiltered so you get the true coffee flavors from the brew with nothing lost.

With the first taste of this coffee I noticed a very smooth mouth feel.

Despite this coffee being a very definite dark roast, the flavor was not exceptionally strong or overpowering.

As the coffee cooled I noticed a slight bitterness. This is exceptional as I brewed a very strong French Press of it.

The flavor of this coffee definitely hits the back of your tongue and has a very nice pleasant flavor. I can see this as a really great coffee to serve at a bed and breakfast or even a high-end bistro. If you want to impress your guests, brew up some of this and let them enjoy this pleasant experience.

This is a very good dark roast coffee that I would definitely rate in the mid-nine range probably about 9.3 to 9.5 out of 10. It is very comparable to the top offerings from Starbucks, Seattle’s Best or Gevalia. It can stand on its own against almost any top quality blend.

Thank you for reading and have a great day.

May your next cup be your best.
