How to Enjoy Coffee All Day
Coffee All Day? Absolutely.
A Guide to Enjoying Your Favorite Blends
If you’re someone who loves the ritual of coffee—but perhaps not always the caffeine—you’re not alone. Maybe your morning starts strong with a bold cup of Major Dickason’s, but come afternoon, you want something gentler. Or maybe you're caffeine-sensitive or just trying to get better sleep. Good news: you don’t have to give up coffee. In fact, you can enjoy it all day long—strategically.
Caffeine Isn’t All or Nothing
Most people think of coffee in two lanes: fully caffeinated or fully decaf. But it doesn’t have to be so black-and-white (or black-and-green, if you’re into tea). With a little planning—or just a thoughtful subscription—you can enjoy rich, bold, full-flavored coffee at every hour. Jitters are personal, so we always recommend using your own experience to guide you.
Meet the Middle Ground
One of our favorite anytime sips? Middle Ground, a smooth, balanced blend of regular and decaffeinated beans. With less caffeine and plenty of flavor, it’s the kind of brew that offers flexibility, so you can enjoy late morning, mid-afternoon, or maybe even with dessert. It's made for moments when you want the ritual—but not the worry.
Make Your Own Coffee Blend
Already have a favorite Peet’s blend? Great. You can DIY your own half-caff (or mostly-caff or hint-of-caff—however you like it) by mixing your regular go-to with its decaf counterpart. Here are a few combos that keep the flavor but dial the caffeine down:
- Major D (Caff + Decaf) – Big and complex, with a full-bodied richness.
- Big Bang (Caff + Decaf) – Bright, juicy, and bursting with vibrance.
- French Roast (Caff + Decaf) – Smoky-sweet with a deep roastiness.
Want to keep it simple? Try our Coffee All Day Bundle, pairing Major Dickason’s Blend and its decaf twin alongside Middle Ground—perfect for a sunrise-to-sunset kind of schedule.
Tips You Might Consider
- Start strong, taper off: Enjoy a bold brew in the morning, switch to Middle Ground mid-day, and wind down with decaf in the evening to see if that works for you.
- Watch the clock: Caffeine can peak about 30–60 minutes after drinking. If you’re sensitive, try stopping caffeine earlier in the day, depending on your personal schedule.
- Make it a ritual: You don’t always need caffeine to enjoy a beautiful mug of coffee. Aroma, flavor, and pause-worthy moments come standard with all our brews.
Coffee on Your Terms
Caffeine isn’t one-size-fits-all—and your coffee shouldn’t be either. Whether you’re looking to moderate your intake or just sip more mindfully, Peet’s has you covered with lots of options for flexibility, whatever you might be interested in. With blends you can enjoy all day, and customizable options that fit your routine, you can keep the coffee, skip the compromise.
