No Peet's, No Starbucks
December 27, 2007Just wanted to give a quick shout-out to Alfred H. Peet who died this year at 87 years old.
Not a lot of people know this, but Peet introduced gourmet coffee to America - coffee out of a can? - when he co-founded Peet's Coffee and Tea in 1966.
He had two proteges, Gordon Bowker and Jerry Baldwin, who started a little company in the upper northwest you might have heard of -- Starbucks.
So enjoy a cup of joe and pour a little out for Peet. (I think they have a Peet's at the United at Fairway.)
