Really. The worst coffee I have ever had. I could only take about half a cup before I had to pour out the rest.
I guess that explains why it was half price on closeout.
Doesn't taste anything like chocolate. Maybe the Silk is literal. Or maybe it's flavored with silk worm excrement.

Chocolate Silk Coffee? Sounds horrendous based on the name alone . . .
thanks for the warning.
I picked up some whole bean Folger's Columbian a while back (cheapy closeout) to use as a backup if I ran out of "real" coffee (Papanicholas Special House Blend) and it actually wasn't horrible.

Chocolate and brewed coffee shouldn't come anywhere near each other. It's just... so... wrong! I am still a bit tramuatized by this gourmet "ChocoLove" coffee someone bought me for a gift 10+ years ago. I can't imagine how much worse Folgers could make it.
OTOH, chocolate and espresso work well together, though I rarely drink mochas anymore, either.

The word Folger's in the name wasn't a dead giveaway in the first place?
" I picked up some whole bean Folger's Columbian a while back (cheapy closeout) to use as a backup if I ran out of "real" coffee (Papanicholas Special House Blend) and it actually wasn't horrible." If you get it right when you open the can, it is usually passable for several days.

Perhaps you mis-read tha label and got the "Folger's Chocolate Silt".

Actually, your standard fare ground coffee in the old fashioned coffee can usually is palatable for the first day or two-- it's not great coffee but there's a nostalgia to it.
I was referring to the little yuppie-style bags (whole bean should have been the tip-off).

I think you're probably OK to throw it away now . . .

I brewed maybe three pots of it over the course of 6 or 7 months, always out of desperation when there was no other coffee in the house.
Eventually I needed that back corner of the freezer back, so I thew away the rest of the bag.

I have no problem with chocolate flavored coffee in general. I've had some pretty good non-Folgers chocolate macadamia nut or swiss chocolate almond coffee.
I actually drink a lot of Folgers Hazelnut coffee--drinking it right now in fact. While I know Folgers isn't the best coffee ever made, their Hazelnut is pretty good, especially for ground coffee in a can. I usually mix it half and half with 100% arabica (different brand).
That's why I thought I was safe with their Chocolate Silk but obviously not.
