My favorite coffee in the Whole World

I am a lover of Folgers brand coffee, plain and simple! I first started drinking coffee when I got married at sixteen. I drank it very weak and put loads of sugar in it. Why bother? It was something different to drink! Over time,I have tried about every coffee under the sun, including Guatemala,Japanese,and Israeli coffees and coffee beans too. I have had coffee that was bitter, tasted like syrup,as well as some that was so heavy with toppings that I could not even taste the coffee.I have also had it so weak that it tasted like water. I have drank it weak, strong, and just right.I have supped it in the morning and slurped it at night. I also have drank coffee in the bathroom, livingroom, kitchen, basement, in my car, on trips,while driving a motorcycle, and even on bleachers! I have tried many flavors of coffees too. Everything from mocha to vanilla to cherry~I have gagged on many that I did not like and ordered extras of the kinds I have liked. One coffee I do like other than Folgers is Cappachenee~cannot spell it correct~from Kings Restaurant.It is very good and I think they use Folgers! Ha! I have drank my coffee from foam cups, ceramic cups, wooden cups,cardboard, paper,glass,a thermos,sealed cups, and plastic. I think it taste best in glass or ceramic though. So, my love of coffee grew over the years and I have developed a taste for that spunk of stronger java when I wake up in the morning. I have grown to use it during the afternoon or evening for a pick me up as well. I drink it till I feel the jold it gives me, then I do not want more. Well, I have learned that coffee is a drug because it has caffeine in it.I have become addicted to it over 35 years!If I do not drink it, I get withdraw with a headache or sleepiness. Still, I gotta have my Folgers! Folgers is a coffee that I tried many years back, and I noticed a HUGE difference in the taste.Never bitter, never too cheap~Folgers is mountain grown and really does have the richest, smoothest taste. Now, I drink folgers with NO sugars and only a little bit of Coffeemate.I can fix it anytime and it it always tastes as good as the first cup, every time. My guests who have drank the Folgers coffee always ask me what it is because it tastes so good! I have changed over about 10 people, at least, to Folgers~the best part of waking up! Be sure and try Folgers. It is one coffee that is not charged an outrageous price too. It is actually affordable for anyone.

I guess we have to agree to disagree....because for me German coffee is still the best.When I first came to the U.S......I absolutely hated the coffee here.It tasted more like dishwater to me.I've gotten used to drinking it by now.....but any chance I get to get my hands on some German coffee....YUMMY!!!

Hello Winky73! Thanks so much for sharing about the German coffee! I really think that what tastes we acquire are influenced by what we are all ready used to...meaning that German coffee I would PROBABLY not like! but then ya never know, maybe I would love it too! I just do not like the coffee that is reallllllllll strong and bitter. Thanks again!

My hubby will only drink folgers as well, he will spit it out if its anything else. When we couldnt aford it and I bought the cheep stuff once he didnt drink coffee untill I got folgers agin. BTW are you still married to the man you were with at 16 ? You said you had been drinking for many years and I was curious if you have a great love story to tell. I am sure that would make a wonderfull discusion and you would get many responses. Welcome to mylot and have loads of fun, hope to see much more of you !

Hello! Thanks for the response and the comments about marriage.Yes, I have been married for almost 35 years! Thanks for the welcome and yes, I will do that when I find time.I have this as a link from my business site (animalworld-etc.com) so hopefully I will be able to have some fun with both! Yes, I can relate on the Folgers and NOTHING else! I too, will not drink any other unless FORCED to! LOL An addition to this I needed to mention is that my stomach does not bother me with it, but if I drink other coffee, I get stomach pain and heartburn, especially with Maxwell house!Thanks again and watch for my love story!

My favorite coffe is Bustelo a Cuban coffee that is nice and strong and you don't need to drink too much of it. I don't care for Folger's it is too weak. I like expresso coffee.

Ugh! Folgers is soooo gross. I use to hve to drive by the place where they raosted Folgers every day and the coffe always smelled burnt. When you brew it is is very weak and I find it to be quite bitter. I don't know how you drink the stuff.

Folgers is not available in where i live but i was able to experience its taste for quite sometime when my Mom brought one for me from the US. i agree that it taste great. but since i was diagnosed with GERD Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) a few months ago, i can no longer take coffee as per my doctor's advice. i used to be addicted to coffee and now i am hurrily looking forward to recover from my illness and coffee is one of the reasons for this.

i've seen the responses and mostly they are folgers. folgers is fine, except that it is bitter and tastes too strong. i am a fan of nescafe and maxwell. ive been drinking maxwell everyday and i have been used to the taste. i am so familiar with the taste that when i drink other brands i can definitely distinguish even the slightest taste diffrence. and still stick with maxwell. i love nescafe because it is a mild coffee and you can sip on it anytime of the day. and i dont mind if it is a 3 in 1 mix. or a cold coffee. nescafe is good.

I am glad that you found a brand of coffee that you like. I do not drink coffee.
