Bottom Line
The Folgers Black Silk K-Cup is dark and bold. The Arabica/Robusta blend gives a smooth but sturdy cup, balancing bitter with sweeter, fruitier notes. It’s full-bodied and made with 100% pure coffee and packs more caffeine kick than similar 100% Arabica dark roasts because of the included high-caffeine Robusta beans.
- Roaster: Folgers
- Blend: South American Arabica/Robusta blend
- Strength: Dark roast
- Caffeine: About 100 mg
Folgers Black Silk K-Cup Tasting Notes
Looking for coffee that’s strong and smooth? The Folgers Black Silk K-Cup is sure to satisfy. It’s a bold-tasting coffee with a deep, roasty aroma made from an Arabica/Robusta blend.
What’s the difference between Arabica and Robusta coffee?
Arabica Beans
- Sweet, soft taste
- Sugar, fruit, and berry tones
- Hints of chocolate, nuts, and caramel
Robusta Beans
- Strong, persistent, bitter flavor
- Harsh taste
- Grainy overtone
- Peanut-like aftertaste
Folgers achieves the deep, dark roast by letting the beans stay in the roaster longer and at a higher temperature than either medium or light roast beans.
Unfortunately, the long roasting time and mass-produced nature of Folgers Black Silk K-Cups means there’s little flavor here aside from the traditional “cup of Joe,” which most people soften with both sugar and their favorite creamer.
If you want a memorable coffee experience, look elsewhere. If you want a simple cup of coffee to wake you up, the Folgers Black Silk K-Cup will do just fine.
Folgers Black Silk K-Cup Caffeine Content
The Folgers Black Silk K-Cup has about 100 mg of caffeine per cup, which is more than your traditional 100% Arabica K-Cup because Robusta beans have about twice the caffeine content of Arabica beans.
But Wait…Are You Paying Double for Stale Coffee?

2. Enjoy fresher coffee
Traditional K-Cups are filled with old, stale coffee. You wouldn’t pay double for dried-out, day-old pizza, so why do the same with your coffee?

3. Stop being limited!
Traditional K-Cups limit you to whatever stale roasts manufacturers decide to package. With the DeliBru Reusable K-Cup, you can drink any coffee in the world!
4. Feel good about saving the environment
Enough K-Cups are sold every year to circle the earth over 10.5 times. Unfortunately, most are made with #7 composite plastic, which can’t be recycled.
