I have loved Blacksilk for years and something is wrong with the flavor. I see everyone is saying that they found it to be weak, so maybe they tried to fix it and just made it nasty. Then we bought the classic and that taste bad too. I’m very disappointed with what Folgers is doing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like my coffee to have more complicated flavors and this just wasn't it. It actually didn't have much flavor or bitterness which is probably preferred by most people.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow I stopped drinking folders as i preferred dark coffee and to my excitement they produced black silk and I'm in love! Such flavor and the cost is better then many brands
I tried Black Silk to see had it was. My normal purchase is folgers coffeehouse blend, but the store was out of my regular selection. So I tried Black Silk. First off it doesn't seem to be any stronger than coffeehouse, but I detected a bitter after taste that I never experienced with coffeehouse. The description of black silk includes that there is no bitter after taste. That is not true. I will continue to buy folgers coffeehouse, when it is available.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So good, made iced coffee. Not too strong, and smells amazing. Used some creamer and a little skinny syrup and was almost as good as coffee shop latte
