My husband and I have been buying the Black silk ground coffee for YEARS. For whatever reason, something has changed. The coffee is repulsive and lacks the robust flavors we fell in love with. Now I have a 2lb jug of some of the worst black silk coffee grounds I have ever bought. Please fix your coffee! Something is seriously off!

The off flavor you've described about our Black Silk coffee definitely is not the quality of taste that we expect from this product either. So we may learn more and best help, we're reaching out to you via email, and look forward to connecting with you soon.
We love the taste of Black Silk. It’s sort of same taste as our prior ( and much more expensive) coffee. But the only option for purchase is plastic container. Plastic , in this day and age, is not that recyclable. Are you all considering, at all, a way to package it that is more sustainable and helpful? Wouldn’t a foil bag , sealed tight, work?
Dark coffee drinkers this is NOT for you. It's more bitter than dark rich smooth flavor. It's more of a medium roast. The grind is thicker too. I bought it because I was looking for a more affordable dark coffee but it's exactly what I paid for, cheaper coffee. Good advertising though, it got me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Me & my sisters have been drinking black silk for years. Fir some reason it's weak now & doesn't have that rich robust taste like it used to that could differentiate between any other coffee. In addition, the cost has become too high. Folgers, what was done to change the black silk?

We appreciate your loyalty to Folgers over the years and are disappointed to hear about your recent experience with our Folgers Gourmet Supreme coffee. Rest assured this is certainly not up to the quality standards we set for our products. We are reaching out to you via email so we can learn more about your experience and best help. We look forward to connecting with you soon.
I want to start by saying my husband and I have been drinking black silk exclusively for years. I drink it from the time I get up till bedtime. Iced. We go through a lot of it. But the high cost is now making have to switch brands and that is horrid as the others taste like bad gas station coffee!!! It’s been great folders!!!!!
