"Black silk" sounds like a great coffee. It isn't. It's just blah-tasting. That "subtle smoky taste" that Folgers claims it has is too subtle to notice. Nothing to this coffee, really.
Cons: No Depth Or Complexity, Not Enough Flavor, Thin Or Watery Mouthfeel/Body
Very smooth and flavorful coffee. It doesn't have the bitter taste that a lot of bold flavors have. Several friends and family have tried it at my house and have all liked it. Many have said they're very surprised at how good it is. If you like a super-bold cup of dark coffee, I wouldn't recommend this. However, if you like a well-balanced dark roast with a smooth, flavorful taste, this is perfect!
