Peet's Coffee is a specialty coffee roaster and retailer founded in 1966 by Alfred Peet in Berkeley, California, widely credited as the grandfather of the American specialty coffee movement. Alfred Peet introduced Americans to dark-roasted, high-quality arabica beans at a time when the U.S. market was dominated by mass-produced, light-roasted coffee. Peet's Coffee is now owned by JDE Peet's, one of the world's largest pure-play coffee and tea companies, and operates over 200 retail locations primarily in California and other Western states.
The Peet's Coffee website offers its full range of whole bean, ground, and single-serve coffees, along with tea, espresso capsules compatible with Nespresso machines, cold brew, and brewing equipment. The brand is known for its small-batch roasting approach, hand-roasting coffees to order and shipping within 24 hours of roasting to ensure peak freshness. Popular offerings include Major Dickason's Blend, Big Bang medium roast, and single-origin coffees sourced from renowned growing regions.
