I LOVE Peets! Recently saw a story on Food Network about the founding and evolution of the company. They had the dinner impossible guy making meals that used their coffee and teas. But I only apply when I like the choice. Unlike SBC's MSC, they tell you what you need to order BEFORE you apply, so if the choice is not appealing, you just don't bother.
So far they have only had one choice I did not choose to go for. :-)
However, I do prefer CBTL because I can order whatever I want as long as it requires a barista interaction, and not the cashier getting it for me.

Go for it.

LOL. I have never had their coffee. Must not be good!

My all time favorite coffee comes out of the pot on my kitchen counter, costs less than a dime to make a cup and I don't even need to get dressed to enjoy it
Before reading this thread, I was unaware of Peet's. Then I saw an article in today's paper about a new shopping center, and it looks like Peet's is coming.
Hopefully the location that opens here will be shopped! I can't imagine a coffee beverage I wouldn't like, so being told what to order shouldn't be a problem.

Mine, also. I usually mix inexpensive brands of dark roast with more expensive brands of Columbian. Mainstream brands of dark roast like Folger's, Eight o'Clock, Maxwell House, Chock-full-o-Nuts, as well as grocery brands make up 50%. The other 50%, bought only when on sale, Columbian. Excellent coffee. And, if I have leftover, I ice it with a flavored creamer. Yum.
