The Folger Coffee Company was founded by James A. Folger in San Francisco, California, in the 19th century. James came to San Francisco from Nantucket Island during the California Gold Rush. Under the mid-20th century leadership of his great-grandson, Peter Folger, it became one of the largest coffee concerns in North America, which has traditionally been the largest market for coffee in the world. Procter & Gamble acquired the company in 1963. The company announced in January, 2008 that Folgers would be spun off into a separate company, based in Cincinnati. In June, 2008 it was announced that Folgers would be acquired by The J.M. Smucker Co. based in Orrville, Ohio, by the end of 2008.

COFFEE TIP

Use coffee as plant food! Dilute your leftover coffee grounds, and make your very own homemade plant food. A solution of one part coffee to four parts cool water, poured at your plants’ roots once every other week, will serve as great plant food.

The Perfect Cup

Here are a few basic steps you can take to get the best Folgers flavor.

Brewing

• When brewing, use cold, fresh water. Hot water can cause poor flavor. Bottled water should be used if unusual flavors are present in your tap water.

• Always allow the coffeemaker to complete its brew cycle before drinking the coffee to ensure that coffee is as close as possible to the desired strength. The first coffee to pass through the filter is the most concentrated, and the coffee at the end of the brew is more diluted.

• Drink your coffee right after brewing (just be sure it’s not so hot that it burns your mouth), because when coffee sits, it gets stale and bitter.

• Coffee should not be left on the burner for more than 15 minutes. After this time, store any leftover brewed coffee in an airtight thermos or carafe.
