If you care about taste and quality as much as we do, don't reuse or reheat leftover coffee. Just don't. It won't taste the same. Ditto for used coffee filters.

Oh no. This is a tragedy. Let's break down what might have gone wrong:

Did you leave your brewed coffee on the heating element too long? If not consumed in 15 minutes, we recommend keeping brewed coffee in a thermal container.

The grind level may also not match your brewing method, for instance coffee ground for automatic drip used in a percolator might taste bitter.

Additionally, The coffee may have gone stale after purchase or might not have been stored in an airtight container.

It's absolutely safe to use. Your container of Folgers^® Coffee might have been packaged under higher-than usual pressure. This can happen when coffee is packed fresh, causing the protective seal to expand. It will still have that wonderful Folgers flavour and aroma.

Here are some helpful tips for opening the container:

As with any vacuumed product, hold it away from your eyes. Prick the inner seal with the tip of a knife and you'll hear a "whoosh" sound. Wait a few seconds for that sound to stop, and then continue opening. Enjoy!

We recommend adding 2 tablespoons of ground coffee (for most products) per 250ml of fresh, cold water.

Also, it is best to clean your coffee maker regularly. We work tirelessly to provide you with a world-class cup of coffee and you wouldn't want to let a dirty coffee maker spoil it for you, would you?

Check out your coffeemaker's manual for cleaning instructions. If they're missing, you can use distilled white vinegar for cleaning your coffeemaker. Fill the water reservoir with vinegar and run it through the brewing cycle once. Then, rinse the coffeemaker thoroughly with two cycles of plain water.

Here are some additional tips to help you get the perfect cup of coffee:

• Don't boil or reheat coffee
• Don't leave coffee on the burner
• Don't mix old coffee grounds with new coffee grounds

We can't blame you for wanting to keep your Folgers coffee fresh. Check the best before date on your Folgers package and store it in a cool, dry place. Coffee used beyond its best before date is safe, but we can't guarantee the same quality. And for us, quality is everything.
