Folgers

Folgers Decaf…an OG. Free 4 cup at hotel and had a cider doughnut. So here we go.

When hot, the first sip is thin and empty, offering little flavor before a bitter, rubbery taste settles in through the middle of the cup. There is a faint citrus note that appears for a moment, but it quickly fades.

As the coffee cools, a soft sweetness comes through that hints at chicory and cranberry juice, though the rubbery aftertaste never fully leaves. The cider doughnut actually helped a lot the sweetness cut the bitterness and made the cup more palatable, almost enjoyable for a few sips.

On its own, Folgers Decaf is serviceable in a pinch but lacks character, aroma, and depth. Paired with something sweet, it becomes tolerable, but still a reminder that even decaf coffee deserves more care than this.

Cupping Method:At Riverview Hotel in Yarmouth, MA. Used cup filter back with 4 cups water in standard old school coffee maker.

Folgers Classic Roast brings a sense of nostalgia, being the choice brew of many, including my own parents.

While it boasts a delightful aroma straight from the jar, its taste has subtle notes of chemical undertones that might be attributed to its robusta content. Though labeled as a medium roast, its flavor profile aligns closer to a dark roast, characterized by a fleeting hint of sweetness a unique tartness. However, its predominant bitterness lacks balance. The initial burst of aroma from the freshness seal is commendable, though one wishes it could persist a bit longer.

Cupping Method:Instant at my parents house

The flavors in this roast trends a bit more dark. The flavors are also relatively muted, so I recommend using extra beans to get a more robust flavor. There is a very distinctive and identifiable aroma, which may be the best feature of this roast. The the lingering and slightly bitter finish is a a bit unpleasant. If you like coffee that tastes like what you'd imagine you get at a generic American gas station then this is the roast for you!

Cupping Method:Vietnamese drip, cream with no sweetener

No thank you.

Also bad.
