Folgers Breakfast Blend —

For anyone who believes that the only coffee worth drinking is a brew that is dark, rich, and full-bodied, you're not going to find your ideal coffee reviewed here. If, however, you enjoy something more mellow than a deep french roast, you may want to try Folgers Breakfast Blend. It's the same Folgers quality as the other varieties, but it's easier on your stomach.

Although I do enjoy my daily cup of coffee, I find that I am so sensitive to the acidity of it that I must avoid any blend that is labeled dark or robust. Folgers gives me two options to drink coffee while reducing the discomforting effects of my morning cup: Breakfast Blend and Simply Smooth.

Folgers employs a "Roast Meter" on it's packaging to let you know at a glance what type of coffee bean you are selecting; mild, medium, med-dark, or dark. For example, Simply Smooth falls in the medium category while Breakfast Blend is the mildest you can purchase. Breakfast Blend is the coffee that I use regularly. Although Breakfast Blend is considered milder than Simply Smooth on the "Roast Meter," I am still prone to gastrointestinal distress if I overindulge.

Breakfast Blend offers the traditional Folgers aroma and is a satisfying way to start your day if you are coffee-sensitive or have ulcers. If you are using the Classic Roast and getting stomach pains or chronic indigestion, I would recommend trying the Breakfast Blend first. Unlike Simply Smooth, Breakfast Blend is reasonably priced. It's not going to cost you more money per cup than the classic Folgers coffee.
