Similarly, I've never been impressed with the flavor of Peet's served by Puck's. But the brewed coffee served at Peet's stores is entirely different and really wonderful.

(Example: never order a Starbucks grande latte with an extra shot of espresso or you'll be left holding an expensive, undrinkable cup of dirty dishwater). The very first Peet's store is at the corner of Walnut and Vine in Berkeley, California. Many former students and postdocs from UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco who moved outside the state still obtain Peet's coffee via mail order. Alfred Peet died last year at age 87, rest his soul. His legacy is vast, as represented by Starbucks, which he really had nothing directly to do with, but his quality is best represented in the current chain of Peet's.

Here's a blurb I wrote about it for the Daily Sauce: www.thedailysauce.com/issue/F/2573. BTW, I just discovered your blog and really like it. And congrats on Sauce gigs; I like the literary feast articles and look foward to your real deal articles...my gourmet guru review also debuted in the January issue.

It is fresh roasted and their focus is on quality not quantity (hence fewer stores). Peet’s coffee is so much better than starbucks.
