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?

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!!!!!
