THE TRUTH ABOUT FOLGERS COFFEE

[@dist0rt3deyes]

Looking through the comments it's truly Amazing to see how many people have no idea what real coffee tastes like. Foldgers is one of the worst coffee brands in the market, wake up people. Try something that actually tastes good before you talk shit.

[@xhynetuseinovski]

I gotta pin your comment to the top! It shocks me too honestly. Too many people thinking bottom shelf coffee is top shelf. Thanks brother.

[@circuitrex]

Ohh u mean bitter coffee that seems thick. Gross.

[@andrewclark293]

Shhh. Let people enjoy things.

[@paulg2100]

I mean what’s it to the next asshole what coffee someone else drinks ? The way I see it, if I’m paying for it and the next person isn’t contributing a penny , I’ll buy what I buy regardless. The problem with this world , everyone thinks their opinions matter to what the next man does with his money.. it’s unreal.

[@silvernblack21]

Y'all are the same people who don't wash your meats or season your food, but you're so hyped up about coffee 😒

[@Buck25thCentury]

The Folgers aroma died when they quit vacuum packing metal cans... cheap plastic is no substitute!

[@pantsandfriends8786]

Call me a Hater, Unbeliever, or Folgers Elitist or What Have you but I Really Don’t Understand the Issue with Folgers it Honestly Tastes Good to Me

[@pantsandfriends8786]

Also The No Smell Makes no Sense to me

[@xhynetuseinovski]

If a person’s baseline taste is Folgers, of course it might taste good. My baseline taste is nothing bougie or overpriced, but it is whole bean coffee roasted within the week. That is significantly more aromatic and fresh compared to ground Folgers that has been sitting for months on end on a shelf at Target and probably from beans that are of substandard quality. That is where my comparison comes from. Not trolling or acting like a coffee snob, but when you’ve tried genuinely amazing fresh coffee, Folgers will taste like dirty water. That’s all.

[@Terszel]

I've been drinkin whole bean coffee for several years, made my own coffee, drank Nespresso. Recently I got Folgers Gourmet Supreme (never had it before), it was the most delicious smelling coffee I've had, and it tastes great, so honestly have no clue what this dude's on. If he just doesn't like it that's one thing, but I wouldn't call it bad by any stretch of the imagination

[@xhynetuseinovski]

How do you drink your coffee? Sugar, creamer?

[@Terszel]

@@xhynetuseinovski milk and sugar

[@uwotm8113]

I see to many comments about only true coffee lovers do this or that. If ou're a TRUE coffee lover you'll just let everyone enjoy what they like and be fine with it.

[@xhynetuseinovski]

eh

[@triciaryan7833]

I feel the same way you do. The only difference is mine has an odd smell! Whole bean's is the way to go if you are a true coffee lover.

[@xhynetuseinovski]

Finally there’s one person who understands coffee lol. It’s crazy how brand loyalty can blind you to what’s actually better in quality.

[@WolfQuantum]

I've been a long-time drinker of standard American store coffee in a drip coffee maker, but I've always been heavy on the cream and sugar, so that helps. I was raised on a farm in the 60s and early 70s. Also, a long time in the Army as an NCO, so a lot of things pass for coffee. Quantity and caffeine meant a lot. I've enjoyed good coffee now and then over the years, but ran the usual stuff as just another part of the day. But yeah, at this point I'm going to go more whole bean, grind my own, and enjoy using different brewing methods. I'm the only person who drinks coffee here and I'm retired. Time to enjoy tinkering with coffee and tea. On a budget, of course. I ain't rich retired. Side note: If you use Cowboy Kent Rollins' (here on KZbin) way of making Cowboy Coffee it really does make a big difference with Folgers or other standard grocery store coffee. It's simple, but takes the bitterness out and actually makes it palatable black. I'm sure it would be even better with fresh beans, freshly ground, but it does make pre-ground, common coffees better than from drip.

[@christianubnoskye3515]

I can drink mine straight out of the pot, or with a spoon of honey, I also like to add creamer every now and then. Just really depends on how I feel like having my coffee that day. Foldgers is amazing to me. You want to judge some bad coffee, get some maxwell house or some nasty ass great value brand coffee.

[@xhynetuseinovski]

Try freshly roasted coffee, you’ll understand. Thanks for watching though.

[@christianubnoskye3515]

@@xhynetuseinovski re reading that comment I made, I didn’t mean for it to sound rude. Really. Lol I would love to try fresh ground but time wise, it’s just not an option for me. Lol foldgers is probably the best ground coffee there is… unless you count community coffee. Lol but I can’t even afford that all the time. Really I hope you didn’t get offended. But I was just wanting to give you more options of very bad coffee… and those were prime examples of the worst coffee ever, including 7-11 coffee. 🤢

[@Jonseyfun]

Folgers is or used to be unique. You could get it in a massive tin can that many people thought added to the flavor; Many truckers and farmers would prefer this for thier recipe of "mud" coffee. Extremely strong coffee that tasted horrible but always kept you awake. I still stand by folgers from my farmer upbringing. East bound and down boys and girls.

[@Texasmilitarydepartmentvid9654]

Maxwell House is amazing Folgers taste like shit .

[@karene9131]

I’m 71 yrs old and I still drink it every morning!🤗 Nothing wrong with it…I do love all coffee though !

[@raisedfromash]

Folgers was my dad’s go to as a kid, but he would get the whole bean ones. The can still gives me flashbacks to his loud ass electric coffee grinder haha, I HATED the sound as a kid lmao

[@skullium]

Honestly, you should try the folgers black silk.. It has much more flavor

[@CNCMillie]

Try dollar store coffee sometime. You'll have to call 911. 🤣🤣

[@Hayamm1]

🤣🤣🤣

[@dh2602]

you are absolutely spot on. We stopped drinking Folgers Black Silk as of last week. This is our 3rd container and it smells coffeewise odorless, smells like the dirt in my plants and absolutely tasteless. I dont know what has happened to it. We’ve taken 3 containers back thinking we just got a bad batch. It has become a total ripoff of your money.. Last one I took back I got a refund. As soon as that seal was cracked, I thought to my self "No way is someone gonna convince me this is still Folgers coffee". The container still "looks" like coffee but that's where the similarity ends. This is an up date. Bought Dunkin Donuts coffee brand and the same results. After throughly examining the package, I discovered the problem - they are both a Smuckers brand. So disappointed and close to giving up coffee altogether. It's become an expensive ripoff.

[@xhynetuseinovski]

I wish others could have the same realization like us 🤯

[@AndresFnt]

I was (and still am?) a coffee geek too but after having yerba-mate for the first time (Guyaki mint flavor) I have become a big fan of the clean caffeine high I get from that instead. If you haven't tried it yet I recommend you give it a shot! You might find yourself becoming a fan of Yerba like yourself and buying loose tea leaves of it and making that instead sometimes or most times!

[@xhynetuseinovski]

If I don’t drink coffee I’ll drink black turkish tea with mint and some sugar. Really tasty. But thanks for the recommendation on the yerba. any particular brand and where do you buy it?

[@aBerlin1945]

I tried Folgers. It's not bad. Now, Maxwell House, that's what you've gotta watch out for.

[@Truecrimeresearcher224]

I tried Maxwell and had to throw it out. Rather have folgers

[@md-ob9nd]

I personally like it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@jaimebanks8377]

Folgers is disgusting. I can't handle much caffeine, I have neurological issues. Cafe Bustelo decaf is really decent. It does come ground. I drink my coffee with a little heavy cream, sometimes a little dark chocolate as well. I don't ever add sugar. I don't consume sugar with regularity. I'm going to try getting my own coffee grinder and buying high-quality decaf coffee beans...

[@jasonramler]

I'm not sure why people are so quick to defend Folgers. It must be some sentimental attachment to the past. Maybe the commercial around Christmas of Jimmy coming home for the holidays and mom greeting him with a cup of acidic brown water. The greatest affront to humanity is the fact you can get that same coffee in K cup form. Can you imagine single use plastic being used to make a cup of what's the equivalent of Wonder Bread to real bread? People....if that's all you can afford o.k. If you drink it because that's all you know then you need to get out more. I inherited a giant tub of that same coffee over the holidays that I'm still trying to suffer through until it's used up (I can't stand food waste). Even with a ton of cream and sugar, you can still taste bad coffee. Great video!

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

In 2015 they changed from 60/40 arabica/robusta to 40/60 LOL

So true I work as emergency registered nurse for very busy hospital and all over the hospital they have Folgers coffee I never drink

[@razan6579]

lol I bought this once to try it but didn't really like it, so I followed your video to make cold brew, I didn't really like the taste, so I added a creamer to it and it was drinkable.

[@creyes4182]

Maybe it’s like how some people think cilantro tastes like soap. I’ve never had a good cup of Folgers no matter how I made it. It has this gross after taste that just coats your tongue.

[@Truecrimeresearcher224]

I don't have that issue. I have had two different brands from Folgers the french blend and coffee house blend. It's the kind that can be made in a french press or into cold brew

[@HayK47]

To me, Folgers always has notes of used motor oil

[@thechongwolla]

I find you have to get the ratio for Folgers just right, it very easily taste of nothing if you add too much water or too little coffee. Its good enough to drink regularly on a work day when I mainly drink for the caffeine. I drink my coffee black and Folgers is weak, I couldnt imagine putting milk in it.

[@kenbudd3]

I agree I have bought Folgers for years and I don't have been in search of good coffee I gave away three 12oz cans, bucket,containers.

[@hollahabibi1897]

folgers brings me back to the 90s when my dad uses to make it everymorning

[@EMAINC3]

First - really enjoyed some of the "comedic" elements in the video. Nice Job! Second - it is my firm belief that something changed with Folgers around two years ago (late Covid era). After years of waiting in line at Starbucks (us old folks do not like to wait in line) I started buying Folgers Classic that you used - and also the decaf version. Using a Moccamaster at home (no waiting in line and a nice coffee maker) it was actually not too bad - not gourmet - but - not bad and was drinkable (black - no adders for me). Then, around late 2021 - I had a container that had a chamical smell. Oh well - just a bad batch...so - I went to different grocery stores (in different towns no less) over the course of about 6 months and every one was the same! Had a major chaemical smell and tasted absolutely horrible. So - went to SB and had them ground Veranda beans and make at home. That was going well - and now in early 2023 - cant seem to find Veranda whole beans in the SB locations... Oh well - now thinking I will just drink water! (I will check out your links in the description though - that may be a good start - thanks for the suggestions!)

[@1.5Deg_Is_NonNegotiable]

I've bought Folgers Colombian coffee for years and have recently noticed the very obvious weakness in the brew. I'd probably get better taste and wake-up from bilge water (wood boat), but since most boats are fiberglass now, that's not going to work either. I'm going to try the whole bean & grinder suggestion.

[@tresjolieme81]

Don't drink Maxwell House then

[@joeduece1]

I have no problem with folgers .. I ,like the 100% Colombian. Been drinking it 10 plus yrs but it’s not my fav. I switched to community coffee. Local brand and its 100x better but Folgers did the trick for over 10 yrs

[@minkki5656]

I use to love Folgers Columbian coffee, however, something has happened to the taste. I first thought that maybe it was a bad batch, so I went and bought another can of Folgers. Still tasted the same.... weak, no taste, just terrible. It actually made my stomach hurt. Not sure what Folgers has done, but the coffee is terrible now!! I don't like Starbucks, because it smells weird. Can anyone recommend a good ground coffee, besides Maxwell house??? I might have to start grinding my own coffee.

[@schifty1]

Dunkin Donuts ground coffee is pretty good, comes in a few different varieties, and most grocery stores carry it ( at least around here in the midwest).

[@airdaff4973]

I emailed folgers. They told me they found a different way to roast ie cheaper way to roast resulting in poor flavor. Also notice their canister size has decreased but still claims it makes the same amount of 6 oz cups. They are lying right to your face. Someone should sue this company. . Owned by smuckers jelly I think.

[@Buck25thCentury]

I had that happen with Folgers Dark Roast a couple times... maybe a newbie on the production line?

[@garycephas5753]

Peet's Major Dickason's dark roast blend.

[@WolfQuantum]

I was just doing a little research earlier. Apparently, a few years ago Folgers switched from a 60% Arabica/40% Robusto to a 40/60 ratio with the cheaper Robusto beans being the predominant bean. For a fast and basic start, I usually use a cheap drip coffee maker and Folgers classic (It's what I have) and a heavy dose of coconut sugar, a splash of Torani sugar-free French Vanilla syrup, and Half & Half. In other words, the Folgers is just a carrier for the other stuff. LOL. But yes, they did change things up in a bad way.

[@sdmestayer]

Folgers is indeed terrible, Maxwell House Original Roast is better by some degree. Honestly, the best bargain coffee that I've found is Krogers 100% Columbian or Kroger French Roast. Basically I agree there are better options at a reasonable price far less than what you'd pay at a coffee shop. .

It is truly disgusting and I’m not sure how people drink this “coffee.” With cream: Tried it with some Hazelnut cream I had on hand to see how it might hold. Goes totally flat outside of an unpleasant, smokey aftertatse. Does not have any coffee flavor at all. Tastes like nuclear cream water. Worst coffee I’ve ever had. Half a cup too many left me feeling sick to my stomach. If you drink Folgers, why (and how)?
