Folgers Classic Roast Ground Coffee, 1.21 kg

Quick answer: Folgers Classic Roast Ground Coffee is a medium roast, 100% pure ground coffee packed in a 1.21 kg (42.6 oz) value-size AromaSeal canister. It delivers the smooth, balanced, full-bodied flavour Folgers has been roasting for over 165 years, and it brews easily in drip coffee makers, percolators, and single-serve grounds baskets — making it a reliable, everyday coffee for Canadian households and offices.

What Is Folgers Classic Roast Ground Coffee?

Folgers Classic Roast is the brand’s iconic signature coffee: a medium roast, 100% pure ground coffee with no additives or flavourings. According to Folgers’ own product information, the only ingredient is coffee, and the roast is evenly applied for a consistently smooth, full-bodied cup. This 1.21 kg canister is a value-size format, roughly 40% larger than Folgers’ standard 816 g canister, giving households more cups per container and a lower cost per brew.

Who This Coffee Is Designed For

• Everyday coffee drinkers who want a dependable, consistent medium roast rather than a specialty or single-origin bean
• Households and families that go through coffee quickly and want a larger, better-value canister
• Offices, break rooms, and shared kitchens that need a large-format coffee that works in almost any coffee maker
• Anyone brewing with a drip machine, percolator, or single-serve grounds basket who wants one bag of coffee that covers all of them
• Shoppers who prefer a straightforward, single-ingredient coffee (just coffee — no fillers or flavour additives)

Primary Benefits

Medium Roast Profile

Folgers Classic Roast sits at the medium point on Folgers’ own Mild-Medium-Med-Dark-Dark roast scale. That places it right in the middle of the flavour spectrum: more body and depth than a mild roast, without the heavier, smokier notes of a dark roast.

Smooth, Balanced Flavour

The beans are evenly roasted to produce a consistently smooth, full-bodied cup with balanced flavour and aroma from the first cup to the last scoop in the canister.

100% Pure Coffee

There is only one ingredient: coffee. There are no artificial flavours, additives, or fillers, which makes it a simple, versatile base for black coffee, or for anyone who adds their own milk, cream, or sweetener.

Convenient Ground Format

This is pre-ground coffee, so there’s no grinder required. It’s ready to scoop straight into a filter, basket, or percolator, which makes morning routines faster and more consistent.

Brewing Recommendations

Folgers prints brewing guidance directly on the canister for consistent results with cold, filtered water:

• 1 serving: 25 mL (about 1 1/2 Tbsp) coffee per 175 mL (6 fl oz) cold water
• 5 servings: 75 mL (about 1/3 measuring cup) coffee per 875 mL (5 x 175 mL) cold water
• 10 servings: 175 mL (about 3/4 measuring cup) coffee per 1.75 L (10 x 175 mL) cold water

This ratio works for all coffee makers, including drip machines, percolators, and single-serve grounds baskets. Adjust slightly to taste — use a little less for a milder cup or a little more for a stronger one.

Everyday Use Cases

• Brewing a pot for the household each morning with a standard drip coffee maker
• Keeping a large-format coffee on hand for the office or break room
• Making coffee for guests or family gatherings where a bigger canister goes further
• Filling a percolator or camping coffee pot for cottage or outdoor use
• Using in a reusable single-serve grounds basket for one cup at a time

Why Customers Choose Folgers Classic Roast

Folgers Classic Roast is one of the most recognized ground coffees in North America, and shoppers consistently choose it for the same reasons: a familiar, dependable taste that doesn’t vary from bag to bag, a large canister that lasts longer between grocery runs, and a price point that makes it an easy everyday staple rather than an occasional treat. Its wide compatibility with different brewing equipment also means one canister can cover an entire household’s coffee makers, percolators, and single-serve baskets.

Folgers: A Legacy Brand You Can Trust

Folgers is made by The Folger Coffee Company and has been roasting coffee for well over 165 years, making it one of the most established coffee brands sold in Canada. The Classic Roast line reflects that long-standing focus on consistent roasting: the same medium roast profile, the same 100% pure coffee, and the same AromaSeal packaging that Canadian shoppers have relied on for generations.

Storage Recommendations

To keep Folgers Classic Roast tasting its best, store the canister in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and sunlight, and make sure the AromaSeal lid is closed tightly after each use to help protect freshness and aroma. Use the coffee before the best-before date printed on the bottom of the canister for the best flavour.
