Folgers Classic Roast Medium Roast Ground Coffee, 9.6 Ounce

If you want a reliable, no-drama coffee for daily drinking, Folgers Classic Roast Ground Coffee nails the brief. It’s a classic medium roast that tastes like a clean, balanced diner cup—smooth body, gentle roast notes, and a finish that doesn’t turn harsh. Is it a boutique, single-origin flavor bomb? No. It’s the workhorse: consistent, affordable, and easy to brew well. What I taste Profile: Mild to medium body with toasty, cocoa-leaning notes and a hint of caramel sweetness. Acidity: Low to moderate—no sharp bite, which makes it very sippable black or with cream. Bitterness: Controlled when brewed right; it only turns bitter if you over-extract. Where it shines Consistency: Cup after cup tastes the same—exactly what you want in a daily driver. Value: Big canister, fair price, and it stretches far if you measure properly. Versatility: Works in standard drip machines, percolators, refillable K-cup pods, and even as a base for iced coffee. Honest caveats (so you know what you’re buying) Pre-ground = convenience over complexity. You won’t get the intricate aromatics of freshly ground beans. Grind size skews fine. In a French press it can leave some sediment—use a paper filter or a pour-over/drip setup for the cleanest cup. Not “third-wave” specialty. If you’re chasing berry notes and floral aromatics, look elsewhere. This is comfort coffee. Brew tips for a better cup Golden ratio: Start at 1–2 tablespoons per 6 oz (180 ml) of water. For most drip makers, that’s 1:15–1:17 coffee to water by weight. Water temp: Aim for 195–205°F (90–96°C) if you can (most machines hover here). Don’t over-extract: If it tastes bitter, either grind is too fine for your method (common with presses) or you’re brewing too long. Shorten the contact time or use a paper filter. Iced coffee hack: Brew it slightly stronger (about 1:14) directly over ice; it keeps the flavor from getting washed out. Storage: After opening, transfer to an airtight container and keep it in a cool, dark cabinet. Don’t refrigerate/freezer-cycle; moisture is the enemy. Use cases I love Morning drip, zero fuss: Smooth black, or takes cream/sugar without tasting muddy. Office pot: Crowd-pleaser—no one complains it’s too strong or “acidic.” Baking & rubs: Great coffee flavor for brownies, tiramisu syrup, or a steak rub. Bottom line Folgers Classic Roast is exactly what it promises: dependable, easy, and pleasantly smooth. It won’t replace a weekend pour-over ritual if you’re a hobbyist, but for everyday coffee that tastes good and doesn’t wreck your budget, it’s an easy five stars.

This is as fair a deal as you find on good ground coffee right now. I stocked up. Tastes great. I make mine strong. Sturdy flavor. Excellent quality. Brews up nicely.

Good price on coffee! I bought this as a gift.

This is my husbands favorite coffee and its price is lower than at the grocery store.

Folgers has and will be my favorite type of coffee! I love it in the metal can even more!

Be warned, the label is a wrap and Not printed directly on the can! I was looking forward to adding this to my daily countertop coffee can to replace my current one. So very disappointed that the label is a wrap and seem glue 🫤😥 but I'm going to figure out a way to make it more permanent after I finish the coffee. The coffee is amazing as always for an everyday coffee. My favorite go-to!

I have drank Folgers coffee for over 50 years. I grew up smelling Folgers coffee brewing when I was a kid, some things just automatically get passed on. I still enjoy the taste even tho it has changed over the years. It still smells great brewing, the containers are sturdy with a seal for freshness.

Great price , arrived safely
