Let's start with the basics: Do Not Buy.

Now that that's over with, let me explain why. I succumbed to the idea that I'm impecunious and bought this blend, Peet's Major Dickason blend, from the local grocery store, as it was on sale for a buck cheaper than Tully's, and much cheaper than Raven's. They claim it's a "full, rich, dark roast."

Bullsnot.

Major Dickason's blend is a coffee for people who think caffeinated water is a good idea. It's the most insipid, most vapid and lacking in character edible substance since the invention of iceberg lettuce. It's warm, it's caffeinated, it has absolutely no flavor whatsoever.

I need something obscenely overpowerful to mix it with, stat, so I can drink it without dying of boredom. I hate to toss it out, I can't afford to, but life's to short to drink this stuff.

Make it into ice cream? Mix with Kahlua?

Can you just use more grounds per batch?

Are you sure you didn't misread the label? Perhaps it actually reads: Peet's "Major Dickason's Bland"

Then its an opportunity to try odd things on coffee that you won't feel bad about wasting if they don't turn out?
(eg: make espresso out of it?)

Another suggestion: Mix it with a particularly smoky/burnt roast of coffee to get something midway between the two?
