first i've been a true and loyal customer for 30 plus years and when i was introduced to this version awhile back, i was like WOW, finally coffee that has awesome aroma that fills the room with the notes anticipating your first cup of joe! Guess what? Thats gone in the last few batches I bought and you hafta add more too achieve the richness also. More of a chickrey flavor! WHAT HAPPENED?
I was wondering why I hadn't been getting the same energy and taste from the same coffee I've been buying for years. It makes me feel sleepy, groggy and I just leave it in the cupboard and go for other energy drinks to get my day going. At first I thought it was just me, but I did notice a new bitter taste, so I decided to come and check for curiosity, and sure enough... it's not just me that notices this difference. And I'm not even an expert in coffee, just used the same coffee... it's become weak, and I considered it the strongest.
As some of the others have stated Black Silk has changed and not for the better. I thought that I had gotten a mislabeled can, but realized the next time I bought coffee that it had changed.
At the store I noticed Black Silk now says "roastmaster series" and it was a lighter coffee. back at the store I went thru and bought the NON roastmaster series.. Fix it or forget it!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We simply updated the labeling to reflect that Black Silk is part of our Roast Master Series, meaning it is a premium blend, perfect for various brewing methods.
