I am wondering if there has been a change in the coffee used, or the brewing. I am thinking that the label used to say 100% Columbian and/or Made with the Arabica Beans. I notice that my last two 1pound, 11.8 oz cans no longer carry this information. I HAVE noticed a difference, SO I began checking it out. SO, What's the SCOOP?
I like strong coffee, I did not expect an commercial brand have such strong yet smut blend. taste good even after reheat and all my friends (that drink coffee) have also purchase it.
I have been a dedicated Foldgers Black Silk K cup buyer, it was perfect, strong enough yet smooth and just perfection. I noticed it diasappeared from stores at the end of 2014 and suddenly has reappeared. It is definitely not the same coffee though, it tastes like water, horrible. I even went so far as to suspect my Keurig machine and washed it, running 2 tanks of hot vinegar through it, followed by 2 tanks of water. Same result, the Black Silk is just not right. I have other coffee here that tastes exactly the same so it is not my tastebuds. What is up? Looks like I will be moving on to a different brand and throwing the rest away.
My daughter and I love this coffee. We prefer a stronger coffee and this is perfect and has a rich flavor too. I always make a pot or two on the weekends. Especially warming during the winter.
Normally my husband and I are hardcore Foldgers Black Silk coffee drinkers. The last night 2 cans however are not the high quality product as we have previously grown accustom to. Bring back the fabulous taste of Black Silk!
I just love the flavor of Black Silk first thing in the morning or any time of the day for that matter. While on Christmas vacation at my sister's home, I took along Black Silk grounds in a baggie. My sister commented that she liked the aroma and asked to have a cup. After her first sip, she stated that it is a nice flavor then asked what brand it is. She too is now enjoying the richly bold and silky smooth taste of my favorite coffee brand - Folgers Black Silk ... Mmmm!
