[spoiler title=’Click to read the transcript’ style=’default’ collapse_link=’true’] Hey welcome to coffee coffee coffee your place for average joe coffee reviews todays coffee would have been drunk by Yosemite Sam so today we are reviewing Folgers 1850 Black Gold so this is a different kind of folgers its supposed to be by their pricing and everything theyre looking to be a more premium brand not like super premium its a $6.49 for the bag $8.65 a pound so thats pretty cheap its not as cheap as their stuff that you would find in a can but it’s pretty cheap but theyre trying to maybe focus more on getting the people who kind of would maybe otherwise say I don’t want to drink folgers this is a nicer kind of bag and you can see on the bag the prominent feature is 1850 then it says the Folger coffee company right it doesnt say Folgers 1850 right and its not red a lot of people have asked us about reviewing this coffee because it is different its like I wonder if that is good and we had seen it and we thought maybe one of these days and since everybody was asking us to do it we thought alright so of course the 1850 has to do with the goldrush in San Francisco even though folgers is now a company out of Ohio on the bag it says SF California 1850 and then the story has to do with James Folger because he started the company out there during the gold rush and perfected his craft during that time so while other people were not getting rich on gold he was getting rich on black gold right yeah hey look I made this great coffee and so we’ll see was it great? yeah so chocolatey and dark is what they say that it should taste like hmm and I like that flavor profile that’s my favorite and I gotta say I love this coffee it’s good coffee I really enjoy it like I djust do it is like a to me it is kind of chocolatey it’s dark it’s roasty but they don’t take it too far it’s not like burnt tasting I just really like it I really enjoy it we wonder like you know 1850 James Folger was making coffee and doing a good job at it if this like who knows was this the quality was this what he was making they were like they found this is some hutch in somebodys basement and they were like this is the original folgers recipe why are we making that other stuff for all these years now to be fair there have been a couple of folgers that we like black silk that was a pretty good one but that was not the original yeah your made up story what’s original this or the red canister that people store their screws and nuts and bolts in thats not well that is that is something people do so what’s the real one we should check wikipedia did you talk about what you taste I tasted the same things you tasted but overall I really really like it it certainly makes me want to try the other roasts and see although dark roasts are probably gonna be my favorite just cause that’s what I like but really good we do have another one of these 1850s called Trailblazer I didn’t even know I’m excited now so but we haven’t tried it yet so we don’t know what that one is like but this one is kind of middle ground on the price what would you say for donuts on there four yeah thats up there with like a gevalia type and I like it that much I think it is a very enjoyable like there was another coffee we were drinking we’re always drinking several different bags and there was one that I wasn’t really enjoying and everything but then you fixed me a cup of this and I was like ahh and he didn’t tell me which one it was and I was like I really like this one remind me and it was this 1850 Dark so there you go so folgers has and this is fairly new come out with these 1850 roasts and its not just one we know of this black gold and there is the trailblazer do you know of any others that you should tell us about have you tried it yeah what did you think exactly let us know in the comments below wed love to talk to you about it and then see like which other ones we might go out and try to get and find as we travel around the country well thanks for joining us on this review of coffee coffee coffee and until next time keep grindin’ [/spoiler]
