We drink a variety of different brands, from dark roast to light roast, and my husband recently brought home Folger’s Colombian. I’m really not a coffee snob, but this tasted like ashtray to me. Or what a ashtray smells like. That’s what it tasted like. I honestly can’t understand why both my husband and I had such a strong negative reaction. Dark roasts are more bitter of course, but ashtray? I need a scientific explanation. Me and my husband are different people so how did we have the exact same thoughts on the flavor?

I've been reading all your replies to everyone assuring them that the Colombian hasnt changed and I just wanna know how you can keep saying that when it's so obviously not the same! Like many others, my household has been hooked on the medium roast for years. This is nowhere near the same and now we're left trying to find something close to the medium dark roast.

We are big coffee drinkers in this house, going thru a can every 2 days. And our coffee of choice was the original med-dark Columbian. Since the change, we can't even force ourselves to drink it. More than just the label and classification changed. And as others have reviewed, we are not happy. It is not the same coffee, and I would hope you would reconsider bringing the original back.

I thought I had bought a out of date can of colombian blend coffee. I didn't see the new classification of this roast till after a few pots. Definitely not the same coffee. Dosent look taste or smell the same. I am very disappointed in Folgers for changing this coffee roast and then telling it's customers it is the same. Obviously it's a cheap alternative.

I notice that the new label omits the "Mountain Grown" slogan that Folgers was always famous for. Has this changed? Always have enjoyed this coffee blend. Sometimes mix in a little bit (25%) of Espresso style blend to give it a little kick.Trying my first new label can now.

You took perfection and now you have lost me. My father in law tasted your 100% columbian 10 years ago and said it was the best coffee he ever had in 70 years. He drinks it black, no additives. Now we are all looking for a new coffee. This is a stupid as Coke changing their formula to New Coke and thinking we would not notice. Why do you mess up a good thing?

I used to drink another brand of coffee, I won’t mention the name, however they call it the state coffee of Louisiana. When I left Louisiana I could not purchase that brand anymore and started drinking Folgers. I was used to dark roast flavor, and found Columbian coffee was a good choice. However I also love the Gormet Supreme, and the Black Silk as a change up from time to time. If you like the Columbian coffee I suggest you try these even darker roast blends. I don’t know why, but the last can of Columbian coffee I bought had a bad flavor of being stale. The only thing I can compare the flavor to is Maxwell House! I always purchase Folgers coffee, this can was just like any other, flavor seal was in tact and the first two pots were fine. But then it got very bitter and just plain nasty tasting! I have contacted Folgers and am waiting for a response. I don’t mind paying a little extra to get good tasting coffee, but this can was awlful! Folgers needs to look into this and find out what is going on at their packaging plant. Oh and you could send me a coupon for another can, I will send this can back and let you try it! Please look into this issue as I found my old brand in the store the other day. I would hate to leave as your coffee is good, but if I get another can of this rott gutt coffee I will be gone as a loyal customer. There is just no excuse to open a fresh sealed can of stale coffee that payed good money for. One bad can in 20 years does not make a bad review, but I am really disappointed in getting a fresh sealed stale can of coffee. If you get one like this please let Folgers know. This has to be an issue at the packaging plant and they can correct it before loosing customers. Hope this review helps you.

Bring back America's favorite coffee! We've been drinking Folgers Columbian med-dark roast for as long as we can remember(hopingit could be darker but it was the closest we could get). Noticed a few weeks ago that it wasn't quite the same, and thought we had mistakenly bought the wrong flavor, but noticed it was a totally different blend hiding in our favorite Columbian's clothing. We'd really love the old flavor back, we've tried your other med-dark and medium roasts and nothing else compares to the flavor profile of the original. Incredibly disappointed and looking for better coffee please!

Folgers Colombian coffee is just awesome, ritch flavor. We have been using Folgers for many years and will continue to do so. Unfortunately prices have gone up and sales are few. Don't want to switch to a lessor flavor coffee, so we will continue with Colombian brand. Bob
