Non-mountain grown robusta
"Robusta" is a lower-quality species of coffee (Cafe robusta) often grown at lower altitudes in equitorial Africa and other regions, in contrast to Cafe arabica, considered to be the higher quality and the source of all premium coffees. This explains the allusion to the non-mountain grown "Robusta" in the article. Rlquall 23:57, 24 May 2005 (UTC)


 * The article doesn't seem to mention the things you are referring to. Badagnani 23:22, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I second that; the citations for the Smuckers buy out are invalid. Cite note 2 points to a HTTP 404 and cite note 3 points to a website that talks about Folgers spinning off instead of being sold. I have a bag of the product that says it was made by "The Folgers Coffee Company." It's not a P&G product anymore, but it's not a Smucker's product either.

Country roast
The new, lower-priced "Country Roast" (which comes in a large plastic canister) should be added to the article. Badagnani 23:21, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Copyright on Commercial
Is the linked commercial really usable under fair use? Eric in SF (talk) 05:56, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Unfair business practices
I read years ago that Proctor & Gamble used its marketing muscle to under-price Folgers and thereby put regional coffee companies out of business all over the country, which allowed it to become the dominant national brand. Isn't that worth putting in the article? Also, why are the various members of the Folger family identified by their first names? That isn't normal for an encyclopedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.38.185.65 (talk) 06:43, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Non-instant coffee?
Hello, does anybody know if Folgers produces or (has ever produced) any non-instant coffee products to speak of? I am trying to locate sources for this but have been unable to Aliy Dawut (talk) 20:43, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
