The prices on Amazon and at Costco are less than I see online, why is that?

The coffee you buy at www.peets.com and in Peet's coffeebars is primarily sold in 1lb (16 oz) bags. Coffee purchased at other retailers is typically offered in smaller (10.5 - 12 oz) sizes.

Additionally, when you order or subscribe via peets.com, the coffee beans you receive are roasted and shipped much more quickly than you can get from anywhere else. Ordering directly from Peet's online means that you will always receive the freshest coffee available. Coffee purchased at other retailers has been roasted and ground further in advance and may offer more limited grind options than ordering directly on peets.com.

We recommend you enjoy any bag of Peet's coffee within 3 months of its roasting date.
