I think what separates Peets from the other "mass" producers is that they never intended to "go large" I used to go to their Berkeley house and have fond memories of the best coffee on the planet. I am sure that they sell to WFM with the intention of maintaining integrity but, as you know, that is a retailer that doesn't measure up to those standards............Ron Johnson wrote:I know fresh beans from old beans, and I've never bought a bag of Peet's that was stale. In fact, one of the reasons that I like Peet's is that most stores keep a small inventory and it turns over very fast. The place where I buy it now, is almost always out of Major Dick. A good thing in my opinion.
The freshness factor is the main reason that Sunergos is my other go-to coffee.
