I sense changes to Black Silk recently, and some of them are: Black Silk doesn't seem to be as Aromatic as usual, the Appearance is different in Texture and Color, And It Not As POTENT!! And I find it very difficult, if not very near impossible, for me to drink coffee that is IMPOTENT!!! Of course I still drink it and like it. I have to add a few more of the black crystal powder to my pot. So, if there was some trial experiment in effect for awhile, I (We), hope it has ended and the canisters of that exercise will exit circulation REAL SOON.
I came on this site to let Folgers know there was a mix up on the label. Black Silk was placed on the Classic by accident. Then I read all the reviews, maybe not a mix up? I still think a mistake has occurred. Please tell me I am right or I will need to find another coffee.
I have been a satisfied user of Black Silk blend. BUT, it has changed. It was comparable to a Star Bucks dark blend. It was a dark roast with great aroma, a fantastic taste, etc. But recently when opening the can I noticed the lack of "Black Silk" roast aroma and a definite lighter color in the coffee. WHAT HAS HAPPENED? Is their a new name for the old roast?
This is my last purchase of the Black Silk blend as currently available. I can no longer recommend this roast. It is not as advertised and labeled!
We have been using this coffee for years and now it tastes like hot water. We have increased the amount of grounds we add to the pot but it doesn't help much. I have no idea what happened but for now, I have purchased my last canister.
I HAVE BEEN BUYING THIS FOR YEARS. NOTICE LATELY THE BLACK SILK IS NOT SO DARK ANYMORE? DID THEY CHANGE SOMETHING? EVERYONE AT WORK NOTICE IT IS NOT THE SAME DARK TASTE. MAYBE TIME TO CHANGE
