I like Peet’s Colombian. I used to like Dunkin Donuts, but after Peet’s, Dunkin tastes like diner coffee to me.

I heard Peet’s is a Starbucks brand. Do you know if that’s correct?

Absolutely not!

Peet's is based in California.

Starbucks owns Seattle's Best (still operating under that name) and Coffee People (rebranded to Starbucks).

Let me clarify...did a little research. Years ago, there was a connection. One of the partners owned parts of both Peet’s and Starbucks, but sold off Starbucks in the 1980s to focus on Peet’s.
