I've bee drinking folgers instant coffee for 26 years. Most of the time, I find people who have issue with it have never had it or plainly havent had it made the right way. Not to mention coffe is a personal experience and we all enjoy it differently. That being said, if you read the directions, use good water, and take time to fimd the right strength to suit your taste, you'll have a great cup of coffee every time.
Worst coffee ever. Tastes fake. No other coffee brand I've had in the past has made me have an upset stomach like this one. Still in pain 3 days later. Who knows what they put in this coffee.
I only buy instant coffee for certain recipes, so I don't buy it that often. I bought a jar of Folger's today, and it ruined my recipe. It tasted like burnt chemicals, yet the jar of coffee itself smelled like nothing -- no aroma at all.
I don't know what they did, but it's disgusting!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for reaching out, OldAnnie, and we are sorry to hear about your experience with our Folgers Instant Classic Roast Coffee. This does not sound like our quality to have an aroma-less, chemical tasting coffee, so we would like to learn more about what happened. We have reached out via email and hope to connect soon.
I have been enjoying this coffee for a few years but the last few jars I tried have been fairly bitter and generally inconsistent with the wonderful flavor I expect from Folgers.
Bought this at the nearby mini convenience store as a quick substitute until I drove into town to get my regular coffee. This has to be the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted. No amount of sugar or flavoured coffee whitener can get rid of the god awful taste. It tastes like old musty camper combined with the metal taste after using an angle grinder all day. I'd rather lick an ashtray then buy this ever again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have been drinking Folgers Instant Coffee for years. I love the flavor. I have tried others but nothing comes near it. When traveling I take the small packages with me and heat in the microvave in the room. I just wish I could find coupons for the instant but all I ever see is ones for the percolated variety. I live alone and the instant works best for me.

I normally brew my coffee but on some days there just isn't time to wait so I use Folgers instant coffee. It is super quick to make. I prefer ground coffee because it tastes better to me but this instant coffee has a good taste too. Perfect for busy mornings!
