Make Every Peet’s Coffee Even Better
Three simple tips that take your Peet’s summer drinks from great to genuinely exceptional every single time.
Brew Hot. Pour Over Ice.
The best way to make iced pour over coffee is to brew directly over ice. The rapid chilling locks in the delicate flavors that evaporate when coffee cools slowly. Perfect for Sun Catcher and Guatemala San Sebastián.
Cool Espresso Before Icing
Never pour hot espresso or strong brewed coffee directly over ice if you want to avoid dilution and bitterness. Brew a concentrated cup, allow 10 minutes to cool, then pour over fresh ice for a cleaner, brighter result.
Store Beans Properly
Peet’s beans deserve proper storage. Keep in an airtight canister away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Never store in the fridge. Ground beans lose flavor within 15 minutes so grind only what you need right before brewing.
