Even though it is one of our national brands and has been around for years, I would give Folgers coffee a C-. It is easy to find and there is usually a sale and a coupon to use to make it one of the cheapest to buy. Each blend is virtually indistinguishable from each other and taste pretty much the same. The worst one is the Classic Blend.
I drink it at work since the boss brings it but I try to sneak the good coffee in whenever possible.
Folgers has caffiene and is easy to make but it tastes like a cheap low-quality blend and it is a bitter dark brew. No palatable notes or acidity and you end up with a diner quality cup of java. Lots of creamer helps me stomach the taste along with Splenda for sweetener.
I recommend a sparkling cup of Starbucks or a rich mug of Gevalia coffee any day.
