Do you mean Folgers vs Maxwell House.
If so, the answer is neither. They both suck.

Dunkin Donuts or Ryan Bros.


ETA: Cafe du Monde thrown in for good measure.

We got a shipment of 10 1lb bags a few months ago I must say that stuff is better than Folgers or Maxwell house by a long shot. Its been to hot for me to drink coffee though.

MickyD's is usually pretty good, surprisingly. Starbucks is pretty good, if you don't drink to much of it lol. It gets old after awhile.

I usually settle for what's on sale, Maxsmell House or Flogers. Taste the same IMO.

I received one of those Bunn O Matic bean grinders for a gift not to long ago, - haven't so much as plugged it in yet. I drink allot of coffee, -should give it a try I expect.

The best in store brand I have found is Eight O'clock brand. Far superior to the others, and you can get it ground or whole bean and grind it yourself. It also has the best decaf I have found. It does not need to be ground superfine to get flavor.

My folks drink Maxwell House, but the only product from them I've ever enjoyed was Cappio, the precursor to the Starbucks trend. It was a chilled coffee, and I thought, an excellent product...just a few years ahead of it's time.

Folgers Black Silk works for me. Timmy Horton's does, too.

I grew up on Hill's Bros., tho. And Maxwell House.

Back in the day, everything was made in Perc-o-lators, and that's about the worst possible way to prepare coffee.

Back then, it all tasted like crap, but no one knew any better.

Whichever K-cups the wife picks up for the Keurig. I do prefer a dark roast myself.
