[quote Racer X]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.
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).
