Peet's Coffee Whole Bean Big Bang Medium Roast 63 oz — Citrus Brightness, Smooth Balanced Flavor

Peet's Big Bang is a medium-roasted whole bean blend built to honor Alfred Peet’s legacy, delivering a vibrant, balanced cup with citrus brightness from Ethiopian beans.

Created for Peet's 50th anniversary, Big Bang blends some of the same premium origins used in Major Dickason's with a twist: aromatic Ethiopian Super Natural that lends lively citrus top notes. Roasted to a medium body, these whole beans are designed to produce smooth, layered flavor across multiple brew methods. This 63-ounce pack contains six resealable 10.5-ounce bags so you can keep freshness for home espresso, drip, French press, or cold brew.

How will Big Bang taste in my cup?

Expect a medium-bodied profile with balanced richness and vivid aromatic highlights. The blend emphasizes depth and clarity rather than intense bitterness, offering a pleasant interplay of cocoa and citrus.

• Medium roast — smooth, balanced richness
• Citrus aroma from Ethiopian Super Natural beans
• Hints of chocolate and layered complexity like Major Dickason’s lineage
• Whole beans preserve aroma until grinding for brew

Which brewing methods work best with these whole beans?

Big Bang is versatile—grind size is the key. Use the suggested grind for each method to unlock the intended flavor and body.

• Espresso: fine grind for a concentrated, syrupy extraction
• Drip or pour-over: medium grind for clarity and balanced extraction
• French press or cold brew: coarse grind to emphasize body and low acidity
• Whole bean storage: keep in original bags and reseal to maintain freshness

What makes Big Bang different from other Peet's blends?

Big Bang pays tribute to Alfred Peet’s pioneering influence while introducing bright Ethiopian notes to a classic formula. It shares select origins with Major Dickason's but leans medium instead of dark, creating a distinct balance of vibrancy and depth.

• Anniversary blend honoring Alfred Peet’s legacy
• Includes Ethiopian Super Natural for aromatic citrus top notes
• Medium roast approach for broader everyday appeal
• Hand-roasted in small batches consistent with Peet’s craft focus

How should I store and use the 63-ounce pack to keep beans fresh?

The six 10.5-ounce bags are convenient for rotating freshness—open one bag at a time and reseal tightly. Keep unopened bags in a cool, dark place; once opened, use within 2–3 weeks for best flavor.

• Store whole bean bags in a cool pantry away from heat and light
• Open one bag at a time; reseal or transfer to an airtight container
• Grind just before brewing to preserve aroma and volatile oils
• Use coarse grind for cold brew/French press, medium for drip, fine for espresso

Who is this for: Peet's Big Bang is ideal for coffee lovers who appreciate a medium roast with character—drinkers who want more brightness than a dark roast but still crave rich, full-flavored cups. It suits home baristas dialing in multiple brew methods, households that value freshness from several smaller bags, and anyone curious about a modern twist on Peet’s classic blends.
