Today is Founder's Day at Peet's, and they're offering 1/2 lb. bag of coffee free with the purchase of 1/2 lb. As always, you are entitled to a free small cup of drip coffee with purchase.
Note that the second 1/2 pound can be another variety of coffee and can cost as much OR MORE than the first 1/2 pound.
Alfred H. Peet died in September 2007.
His obituary, which called him the "grandfather of specialty coffee," appeared in the New York Times:

NB: I do not work for Peet's.
