To brew Folgers Black Silk, use your preferred coffee maker, whether it's a drip machine, French press, or pour-over. Measure the ground coffee into the filter or brewing chamber. The amount of coffee to water ratio can be adjusted to your taste, but a common starting point is one to two tablespoons of coffee per six ounces of water. Heat fresh, cold water to just below boiling. Pour the hot water over the grounds, allowing it to bloom for about 30 seconds before continuing to pour. Brew until all the water has passed through. Serve immediately for the best flavor.

It has a bolder character than medium roasts, which often have a more balanced and nuanced taste. This coffee is specifically crafted for a robust and full-bodied experience.
Who it is for
