Folgers - Horrible Coffee
My husband and I have been faithful Folger coffee drinkers for years. However, something major has happened to the flavour.
Two cans ago, we noticed a strong strange "chemical" smell when we opened the can. We made a pot of coffee, but couldn't drink it. Our coffee pot was old, so we bought a new top of the line coffee pot, plus used bottled water. We also bought another can of Folgers from a different store.
The result was the same- HORRIBLE coffee and Horrible smell. Usually you get such a wonderful coffee smell when you open a new tin, but NOT in this case.
We have now gone to a different brand, and will not go back to Folgers until they stop sacrificing cost saving to quality again. Pat Stodgell
Reason of review: Bad quality.
Monetary Loss: $35.
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.
Folgers Cons: Taste, Coffee was horrible, And smelled bad too, Variability of quality now they all taste bad or subpar.

I've been a avid Folgers coffee drinker for 50 years but not anymore after smelling the new can after I opened it. It smells like burnt beans and sh_t mixed together. Bye bye Folgers.
Same here, smells and taste like crap, and the price keeps climbing as well.
Same here , I've drank folgers for 30 years and today for the 5th time it's smells horrible. I'm switching brands.
Ive only bought folgers for 25 years but then about two weeks ago i opened a fresh can and it smelled awful. I thought it might just be me so i went ahead and made a pot of it.
My husband asked me what i did different to the coffee because it was horrible. I had recently stocked up on coffee so i opened another can. All three large (37 oz ) cans had the same horrible taste and smell.
$50 in the trash. Iโm done with folgers
Same I was just looking up what is wrong with Foldgers came across this. Already told hubby we are switching brands this now makes everything stink bad!
Iโm experiencing the same thing! Strong chemical smell. Yuck
I was looking to see if I was the only one who noticed the chemical smell and taste. I'm glad it's not just me.
I thought something was wrong with me because it literally gives me a migraine. My husband and I are also advi Folger coffee drinkers.
I'm so sad. Now I have to find a new coffee!
We have 3 small dogs that sleep with the wife and I. And sometimes they get *** clingers aka stinky butt. Sometimes I'll wake to this smell, only to discover it's the coffee brewing.
I am having this issue now. Smells bad! Returning my other can and switching.
I just bought 2 new cans in hopes it was just the one. I'm glad I looked this up. I thought there was something wrong with me..
I am experiencing the same thing right now. I experienced it earlier this week as well.
The coffee grounds just smell awful! The coffee does not even taste like it should.
I am both grossed out and concerned. What in the world is going on with Folgers!?
I have had the same experience Folgers used to be delicious and the smell throughout the house when brewing was heavenly... Not any more...
What happened?
I bought 4 canisters, so i am out a pretty penny, but when its gone... Switcheroo!
I thought Folgers was always this way, This is my first and last time buying from them again. Anyone has any other brands to recommend ?
I bought two cans of Folgers Colombian in a row and they both smelled rancid in the can and after the coffee was brewed the taste was terrible. Something's gone wrong. Guess I'll find a new brand.
We agree! Itโs now hit or miss on each can of coffeeโฆ.
We are now at the point of switchingโฆ.but to what? When itโs good, the Folgers gourmet blend is fantastic but what is comparable? A few years ago Folgers changed their offering or the store replaced itโฆ dark roast for med-dark roast but adjusting the scoop amount fixed that, pretty much. Now, however, just opened a container and blah!
I canโt afford to be their quality control and just dispose of bad batches. Very disappointed and will start the arduous process of finding a new favorite.
same thing here ,been an avid folgers drinkers for decades,,my mom mentioned a while back that she was not happy with the taste lately,,i just opened a new can ,yuck ! throwed it out after one sip,,then smelled the can, threw it out too,,unfortunatly i bought 4 other cans on sale a while back,,they going out in the yard also,,so much for sittin on the porch watchin the horses and dogs as the sun comes up ,with a nice cup o joe,,will not be buying folgers again,,,tastes just like food club cheapo,,so this is what commie ville tastes like ,,hmmm not empressed
I just opened a can of classic roast and it smelled like chemicals. I will be returning it and not buying Folgers.
me too. Ive been drinking folgers for yrs.
This last classic roast i bought was unusually bitter. Did they change something?
or a bad lot? If this is the new norm im not buying again.
Folgers. Do something.
I am covering over the smell, which comes through in the brewed coffee, with vanilla creamer. Gary in Colorado.
I use flavor cream and I still can't drink this mess. It gives me a migraine.
