Folgers instant taste has been going down hill since the packaging ( which is terrible now!) was changed. UGH to the new taste. Always used Folgers instant regular & Decaf, have been sooooo dissapointed for over a year with the quality of the instant coffee from Folgers. Shame, Shame. I have been trying other brands & will continue to find the brand that comes up to the past Folgers taste. Less flavor, less customers!!!!
My favorite coffee for over 20 years, folgers classic. My daily cup of black coffee, one full spoon & one spoon of sugar that's all you need if you really want to enjoy a cup of coffee!!
I wonder if the crystals contained in this coffee are the cause of the unbearable sores in my mouth....on my tongue and my gums.....I have had this ONGOING problem for at least 3 months....coffee irritates it, but so does water...The Doctors have NO CLUE why it is so recurrent. Just wondering what the ingredients are in your "Classic Roast" Instant Coffee Crystals? Does it contain any citric acid????
I have been drinking folgers for a long time and I continue to drink it, but when they changed the bottle, it let it oxidize faster. The new bottle doesn't seal. i have kept some old bottles and I pour the new bottle into it as soon as I open it. It has helped. But when I buy the 12 or 16oz size, it has to wait for me to use it, since I only have 8 oz bottles from years ago. I still drink it because my body does not like ground coffee.
I enjoy a good cup of coffee. Today's water supply for consumers is not the quality we had when I was younger I live in Delaware and the stuff that comes from our tap is not fit for my pets to drink, let alone for consumption. I use bottled water for all cooking and drinking. I suggest to the folks disappointed with Folgers to try bottled or distilled water or, as an option, milk with their instant coffee.
You've been packaging your instant coffee in this "easy open flip-top" for awhile now. Certainly the flip-top is easy to open ... but it is next to impossible to unscrew the cover to remove the inner seal to gain access to the coffee. One is now forced to try to carefully remove it with a sharp knife while attempting to follow around the edge of the red plastic cover. It was much easier & safer to be able to remove the inner seal by hand. Also, regardless of what you have said about the taste still being the same when others have raised that issue ... I must agree they are correct. It has been my observation the taste declined about the same time you changed from using a glass container to a cheaper plastic container. As a note about your responses to people's reviews : You use a black colored font over a very dark background color making it nearly unreadable.
