Peet's Decaf Major Dickason's Blend Ground Coffee

Peet's Coffee's most beloved blend, Major Dickason's, has now been reimagined as a decaf without compromising its signature rich, complex flavor. To earn the prestigious "Major Dickason's" name, we were determined to create the absolute finest decaffeinated cup in the world.

Using the exact same premium beans as the original, we have crafted a decaf blend that is just as full-bodied, aromatic, and flavorful, but with the caffeine removed. The mellow, satisfying richness of Major Dickason's Decaf stands alone among decaf offerings, whether brewed in a press, by drip, or as espresso.

The story behind this iconic blend dates back to 1969, when a loyal customer of our original Berkeley store, retired army sergeant Key Dickason, brought the idea for our most cherished blend to Mr. Peet. Intrigued, our founder worked closely with this local gourmand and coffee aficionado to refine and perfect the blend, sampling countless combinations before arriving at what is now our all-time bestseller.

The result was so exceptional that Alfred Peet decided the blend deserved more than just Dickason's name – it warranted a promotion from sergeant to major. Major Dickason's Blend combines the finest origin coffees from the world's premier growing regions, each contributing its distinctive regional characteristics to create a smooth, balanced cup.

Over the years, this coffee has become the embodiment of Peet's: flavorful, deeply roasted, and unsurpassingly satisfying. For us, "Major D" is more than just a beloved blend – it's the story of a customer's passion, an expert's palate, and a shared love of coffee.

Now available in a decaffeinated version, Major Dickason's Blend allows coffee lovers to enjoy the rich, robust taste of Peet's without the caffeine. Perfectly suited for drip or pour-over brewing, this decaf coffee is naturally water-processed to remove caffeine without sacrificing flavor. It's the decaf done differently, just as we've been doing it for over 50 years as masters of our craft.
