About the Brand
In 1849, while in San Francisco trying to earn enough money to head out and mine for gold, James A. Folger was hired by an entrepreneur named William H. Bovee, who needed a carpenter to build a coffee mill in San Francisco, which he called the Pioneer Steam Coffee and Spice Mills. Prior to the Pioneer Steam Coffee and Spice Mills, Californians were purchasing green coffee beans, which they roasted and ground in their homes. Bovee saw an opportunity and inaugurated the production of coffee ready for the pot: roasted, ground, packaged in small tins, and identified by the Pioneer labels. After working at Bovee's mill for close to a year, James had saved enough money to stake a claim and headed out to mine for gold. He agreed to carry along samples of coffee and spices for Bovee, taking orders from grocery stores in the mining country until he arrived in a town called Yankee Jim's in 1851.

Upon his return to San Francisco in 1865, James became a full partner of the Pioneer Steam Coffee and Spice Mills. In 1872, James bought out the other partners, renaming the company J.A. Folger & Co. In June 1889, at the age of 51, James passed away and his oldest son, James A. Folger II, stepped into the role of president. Under his leadership, the company expanded dramatically. Its principal product was bulk-roasted coffee, which was delivered to grocery stores in sacks and drums and was stored in bins to be scooped out for the customer. But J.A. Folger & Co. also continued to produce ground coffee.

In the 1900s, Folgers & Co. experienced substantial growth, attributable primarily to an energetic salesman named Frank P. Atha. Atha was assigned to sell coffee in the North Beach area of California, where many small grocery stores served the cosmopolitan population. In 1901, after a year on the job, Atha decided that his territory was not large enough for his ambitions. He proposed to Folger that he open and manage a Folgers coffee plant in Texas. Atha's business grew exponentially, and by year two, he was able to hire two more salesmen and rent office space. In 1908, Atha recommended building a new roasting plant in Kansas City, which remains operational to this day.

In 1963, the Procter & Gamble Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, acquired the Folgers Coffee Company and began national distribution of the products under the name Folgers. Since P&G acquired Folgers, it has doubled its business, making it America's number one coffee brand.

About Proctor & Gamble
Two billion times a day, Proctor & Gamble brands touch the lives of people around the world. The company has one of the largest and strongest portfolios of trusted brands in the world, including Pampers, Tide, Ariel, Always, Pantene, Bounty, Folgers, Pringles, Charmin, Downy, Iams, Crest, Actonel, and Olay.

It all started in 1837 when William Procter and James Gamble settled in Cincinnati. Procter quickly established himself as a candle maker, while Gamble apprenticed himself to a soap maker. The two might never have met had they not married sisters, Olivia and Elizabeth Norris, whose father convinced his new sons-in-law to become business partners. In 1837,a bold new enterprise was born: Procter & Gamble. By each pledging $3,596.47 to the new venture, they began selling soap and candles. Twenty-two years later, their business exceeded $1 million in sales. By 1980 that figure would reach $10 billion, and by 1993 the company would generate over $35 billion in revenue.

Customer Reviews

Wonderful cup of coffee
I just love the full, rich flavor of Folger's coffee pods, whcih I use in my Home Cafe coffee maker. I prefer this brand over any others. It's hard to find around my area, so I ordered a quantity. I don't want to run out!

I miss my instant...but
I bought a single serve coffee brewer so had to buy single serve coffee pods. I like Folgers so thats how I ended up with this product. It's good, easy, no muss, no fuss and I can set it up the night before to brew in the morning. I'm used to strong coffee so this 'normal' cup needs to be jazzed up. (Put 2 pods in!!) LMAO!

Flavor is good, but they get stale and cause dribbling.
I purchased these pods to go with my Melitta one:one coffee pod machine. The flavor is good, but the packaging is poorly designed and the pods go stale after the bag is opened for more than a week. I suppose you could just take all the pods and transfer them to a sealed jar, but I'm a guy and that would take too much extra time! The other problem I had with these pods on my Melitta machine was that they caused dribbling underneath/not out of the pour spout. The pods overhang and a proper seal is not possible in the pod chamber.
