Is Waking Up With A Folgers Coffee In Your Cup The Best Part Of Your Day?

Folgers Coffee

Most of us are familiar with the famous Folger's slogan: "The best part of waking up is Folger's in your cup!" Folger's Coffee was founded by James A. Folger in the 19th century in San Francisco. Proctor & Gamble acquired Folger's in 1963, after it had become one of the major brands of coffee in America. Folger's not only offers several basic coffees, but has developed Folger's several gourmet selections as well.

For those who use ground coffee on a daily basis, Folger's Classic Roast is the most popular. Folger's Simply Smooth collection was created for those who love coffee, but have sensitive stomachs. It comes in regular and decaffeinated. Simply Smooth is created by choosing quality coffee beans and roasting them to a level that will ensure good flavor without irritating sensitive stomachs.

The Folger's Coffeehouse Series offers something for everyone. Starting on the mild side, Folger's Breakfast Blend offers a mild, smooth coffee flavor. Moving on to a medium roast, their new House Blend has full flavor and a café-style richness. Heading into the medium-dark roast, Folger's French Roast is hearty and robust in the French tradition of coffee. Also in the medium-dark range is their 100% Columbian which offers a rich and unique flavor. Folger's newest offering in dark-roasted coffee is called Black Silk, which is described as smooth, with a subtle smoky note. Finally, Folger's gold standard coffee is the dark-roasted Gourmet Supreme, a smooth, rich, full-bodied coffee.

Folger's Flavors gives the coffee fan even more to experiment with. Chocolate Silk combines the richness of chocolate with a full-bodied coffee flavor that appeals to chocolate fans everywhere. Cinnamon Swirl adds a delightful hint of cinnamon to a rich coffee. French Vanilla is a very mellow coffee with the enticing scent of vanilla, and finally, Hazelnut combines a rich nuttiness to another mellow coffee.

And finally, we have Folger's Gourmet Selections. Bistro Blend is a medium roast coffee that is available as ground coffee, perfect for drip coffee makers. Crème Brulee is a ground coffee with a unique light flavor. Lively Columbian is a rich, full-bodied medium-roast coffee available in decaffeinated, ground and in whole bean.

Morning Café is a light-roasted coffee with a delicate bright taste. It is available in ground. Caramel Drizzle is another ground coffee with a rich creamy finish. Hazelnut Crème is enticing, rich and smooth, and is available in ground and in whole bean. Chocolate Truffle is a must for chocolate lovers. It is creamy and rich with a distinctive chocolate flavor you won't soon forget. Vanilla Biscotti is smooth and creamy with a luscious vanilla finish. It is also available in both ground and whole bean. Espresso Roast is a bold and intense ground coffee, perfect for anyone who truly loves the full flavor of coffee.

Folger's still makes instant coffee as well... the well-known Folger's Crystals, and now in single serving packets as well. They also make three Cappuccino flavors that make an instant cup.

Folger's also makes Coffee Pods, which work with the Home Café system to brew one perfect cup of coffee at a time. Coffee Pods come in a variety of flavors. The pods look similar to a round tea bag, and are placed into specialized coffee makers by Krups and Black and Decker.
