## Overview

Peet's Coffee French Roast is a dark roast whole bean coffee crafted from 100% Arabica beans grown at high altitudes in Latin America. Hand-roasted to perfection, it delivers a rich, smoky flavor with notes of chocolate truffle and caramel. USDA Organic and ethically sourced, this 18-ounce bag supports sustainable farming and offers versatile grind options for espresso, French press, cold brew, and pour-over methods. Highly rated by coffee lovers, it’s the go-to choice for those who crave a bold, complex coffee experience.

## Description

The signature taste and rich coffee character of Peet's French Roast Dark Roast Coffee comes from a longer, hotter roast, which not all beans can handle. For our darkest roast, we select only top-quality Arabica coffee from the highest altitudes of prime Latin American growing regions. Beans mature slowly at these altitudes, becoming denser, harder and packed with flavor, perfect for retaining boldness and complexity under the intense heat of a deep roast. Peet's French Roast is not a coffee for the cautious, but for those who embrace the powerful taste, pronounced smoky overtones, and pleasant bite. This dark, deeply flavorful blend pairs well with cream and sugar, and inspires reactions like this one from John "Nic" Nicolini, a Peet's roaster for over 20 years: “On a normal day, I cup 50 coffees before 7 a.m. But I always come back to French. You inhale that smoky aroma, and then a subtle sweetness pops out that awakens your taste buds. It’s visceral."

## Questions & Answers

**Q: My beans look and feel like they have been oiled. Is this supposed to be normal? I never noticed this before.**
A: The people at Peet's would be better in answering this question, but I'll give you my few cents worth: The flavors and odors are in oils inherent to the bean.  I've  noticed a colored oil slick on the surface of a brew, but never to the extent where it is unpleasant.  These people do make a great cup of coffee--trust them.

**Q: Can you use after expire date?**
A: Thank you for your question. The freshest by date is the date that we recommend you enjoy your coffee by, however this is not an expiration date.  The coffee is still safe to drink but it will not be at it's peak flavor.

**Q: My beans look and feel like they have been oiled. Is this supposed to be normal? I never noticed this before.**
A: Yes, dark roasts, and especially Peet's, will have a bean surface sheen / oil.  If you're using a semi-automatic or more so, a fully automatic espresso machine, you may want to steer clear of "oily" beans as they may clog up a bit more.  Try Lavazza beans as they tend to have a more matted finish.  Even on their dark roasts (Simfonico and Gran Riserva), the beans are not as oily as Peet's or Starbucks (meh) beans.  For Peets, Major Dickason's and Espresso Forte seem to be the less-oily Peet's beans, and the tastes are spot on.  But do give those two Lavazza beans a try.  You might like them.  The price is right, the taste is usually quite good and the only possible downside is the older roast dates.  Cheers

**Q: How does this compare to Lavazza super crema?**
A: I've had a few varieties of LaVazza; honestly, I like the sound of their name better than I've liked any of their coffees.  Can't remember if I've had Lavazza Super crema.

Though I like Peets Major Dickasons, I wasn't overly wow-ed by the Peets 
Espresso Forte either; so don't know if that helped much.
