Peets only operated on the US West Coast for many decades. They were selling good coffee back when Howard Schultz was trying to get into roasting, then opened a coffee shop in the Seattle Pike Place market. They cut some kind of non-compete deal but I believe it’s no longer in force.
In California, Graffeo is a better roaster than Peet’s, but they don’t brew coffee. And they only have two retail outlets for their beans.
It’s a Bay Area company. They aren’t all over the U.S. According to a map on their website there are 286. Approximately 47.5% are located in the Bay Area.
Well they have been caught multiple times buying from slave labor farms in Brazil, buying from a farm with child labor in Guatemala and possibly contributing to the decline of commodity prices in 2019 (which was under a $1).
The big Mac is probably better for your body. I mean less bad. Don’t wanna really say “healthier” but I’m sure you get my meaning.
I Googled it and the bullshit Ai summary is REALLY going to bat for starfucks. First it compared a grande mocha to a whole big Mac combo (480 vs 1100 cal) , the when I specified “venti” and “sandwich” it decided to make the mocha a nonfat milk with no whip which brought it down to 400.
Haven’t bought stuff from sbux in the last few months because of their union busting and DEI rollbacks. Seems like it was the right choice.
I don’t buy from them because their coffee is bad.
"You don’t buy from Starbucks because of social issues.
I don’t buy from Starbucks because their coffee is bad.
We are not the same."
Petes is soooo much better.
I’ve never seen a Pete’s coffee shop, I thought it was just a supermarket brand.
They have physical locations too. I’m on the east coast so they’re not as popular here. Major city though.
Used to have like 6 locations but they’re down to 2 now that I know of in my state.
You can also just aim for local shops instead of chains.

Gotham?
Ohh… Way less cool
Look Starbucks owes Peet’s everything. That company started off buying from Peet’s.
It tastes like you’re sucking on a match. All these years and they still don’t know how to roast correctly or control brewing temperature.
Also their management are evil. So there are two good reasons to avoid them.
Being able to feel pious about it is a nice bonus, though, lol

I don’t think they sell coffee, just like subway doesn’t sell 12 inch sandwiches.
They sell coffee flavored sugar water.
Venti (20 oz) Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha: 580 calories
Big mac: 590 calories

Regardless, 72g of sugar in that friggin thing.
I relied too heavily on chatgpt search.
12oz Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha is 360cal so 20oz is 600cal.
It got the 590cal big mac correct
I wanted to compare the nutrition info directly but it’s a hassle on mobile so I had to try to sucker the Google ai into doing it. It didn’t work.
Pretty sure the mocha is on par with or worse than the big Mac in every way except sodium.
My days of not purchasing anything from Starbucks are definitely coming to a middle
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
Bad is an understatement! I compare it to Fosters beer, it’s piss water. Had it twice in my life, never again…
