While I like Peets corperate policies and their mission statement I find their coffees are overroasted also.There is no point to buying expensive varieties from peets as all of the wonderful charecter will be lost.That said if their is a peets on one corner and a 'bucks on the other I will go to peets)we actually have the scenerio here in Pasadena at the intersection of Lake and California )
PS-Howard Schultz got his training from Howard Peet btw-Peets was here first
