I have been drinking Folgers Black Silk for years. It was a smooth yet bold. Now it is so weak. I have even tried the strong brew on my keruig. No luck. I just want it to be like it was.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

As being such a loyal consumer of our for so long, you know a weak taste is certainly not up to our flavor or quality standards. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Jenny, we have reached out via email to see if we can learn more. Hope to speak soon!
I have enjoyed a 2:1 ratio of Black Silk to finely ground Starbucks Espresso roast coffee. Seems to pack a punch and is nice and dark, but fairly cheap for me. Can someone from Folgers please help me? I'd like to know how much caffeine is in this specific product. How much caffeine is in a (12-cup) pot of coffee, if I'm brewing Black Silk? I don't want a range, I'd like one number from which to extrapolate.
As a loyal Folgers customer I was really excited when black silk hit the market and has been a staple in my household ever since but I didn’t expect anything better until I tried this. My family has been enjoying it both hot and iced and we just can’t get enough.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We are so happy you and your family love our Folgers Black Silk coffee. Thank you for your 5-star review!
I have been drinking Black Silk for years. Now no matter where I get it from it is so weak I end up throwing it out. And this is using it in several different machines. Taste like warm water with milk and sugar.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Doug, as a loyal consumer of our Black Silk, you know of the bold and smooth flavor it should have, so we are disappointed to hear that you have been noticing a bland taste! We have reached out via email to learn more about your experience and see how we can help!
A few years ago while on vacation we needed coffee. My husband came back with “Black Silk”. I feared that it would be too strong! It was perfect! Smooth and robust, full of flavor! My guests are not only asking for 2nd’s, but I have to prove that it not a gourmet blend, but a crafted Folgers blend. This is a marvelous product!
I would recommend this to a friend!

We are so happy to hear you and your guests loved our Folgers Black Silk. Thank you for the review!
It's cheap, has caffeine, is not overly bitter, and tastes fine whether it's hot, cold, or cooled. It gets the job done and there's not much more you can ask from preground, cheap coffee.
