A:Folgers Classic Roast^® Coffee in the 0.9-oz and 1.05-oz drop weights uses a patented flaking process to more fully extract the flavor from each coffee bean. Due to the higher flavor yield of flaked coffee, a lower drop weight is needed for the same rich, pure taste of Folgers. Because flaking is a patented milling system, coffee flavor strength for the 1.05-oz size is equivalent to a 1.50-oz traditional drop weight.

A:Call your local sales representative or broker. You also can call our customer service associates at 1-877-MY-FOLGERS, or view our office coffee distributor list and search for a distributor near you.
