If you're going to drink coffee you've got to drink Peet's coffee of Berkeley. Anyone else drink Peet's?

You bet! Love Peet's, especially Major Dickerson's blend (Dickerson, Dickenson, something like that...)

I like Peet's for the tea!
They usually have a great selection. The one here in Beverly Hills has a working plug for my Mac and has a great WIFI connection that is not free but at least works.

I like Pete too, but my guess is since we live in different States, and y'all are spelling it differently, and also refer to java and such, that we are talking about different things - the former sounds like a restaurant, while in my case it's a co-worker. But in the interests of full disclosure, Pete really is a nice guy! :D

Love the stuff (and their stock has done well over the years too). Major D is wonderful stuff.

There are a few in this area, but not too many. Starbucks if pretty dominant.

I had a rather decent double latte at a Peets concession at Oakland Airport on Monday.
You could actually taste the coffee. The other major vendor (the mermaid) uses too little coffee and it is brewed too fast so you don't get good extraction and all I get to taste is a milky coffee.

I like Peet's too, but I wouldn't call it the "ultimate". Many of their roasts are too dark for my taste. Sometimes dark roast is appropriate, but not always. I prefer my little local coffee roaster, Clocktower Coffee in Mountain View, CA.

I drink Peet's and have for years. I also discovered Kona Blue Sky coffee when I was in Hawaii a few years ago http://konablueskycoffee.com/store/
It is a treat, and it's price for Kona coffee is very reasonable when you compare it to other roasters.

OK I gotta try it, now where can I buy Peet's, somewhere in Sacramento, CA would be good. Anyone want to tell me?
