Folgers Classic Roast Instant Coffee: Medium Roast Crystals in a 16 oz Jar
- 100 percent pure coffee — the only ingredient is coffee; Folgers uses its Mountain Grown beans for the Classic Roast profile
- Medium roast — the same smooth, balanced Classic Roast flavor as the ground coffee, without the bitterness of a dark roast
- Dissolves in hot or cold water — stir into hot water for a quick cup or into cold water and ice for instant iced coffee
- 16 oz (453 g) jar, about 270 cups — one teaspoon per 6 fl oz cup; the large jar is the value size for households and offices
- Flip-top jar with seal — the plastic jar has an easy-open flip lid that keeps the crystals dry between uses
- Caffeinated — regular coffee, not decaf
How to Use
Add one rounded teaspoon of crystals to a mug, pour in 6 fl oz (180 mL) of hot water, and stir until dissolved; use two teaspoons for a stronger cup. For iced coffee, dissolve the crystals in a splash of cold water first, then top with cold water, ice, and milk. The crystals also work in baking and desserts, such as tiramisu or coffee frosting, where you need coffee flavor without extra liquid. Keep the jar tightly closed in a cool, dry cupboard, use a dry spoon every time, and avoid the refrigerator, where moisture can cake the crystals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Folgers Classic Roast Instant Coffee contain allergens?
No. Folgers Classic Roast Instant Coffee lists a single ingredient, 100 percent pure coffee, and contains no milk, nuts, soy, wheat, or added sweeteners. It is plain coffee that you flavor yourself with milk, cream, or sugar. As with any packaged food, read the printed label on the jar for the current ingredient and allergen statement before use.
How do I make coffee with Folgers instant crystals?
Put one rounded teaspoon of crystals in a mug, add 6 fl oz (180 mL) of hot water, and stir until dissolved; use more crystals for a stronger cup. For iced coffee, dissolve the crystals in a little cold water, then add ice, cold water, and milk. Keep the jar sealed in a dry cupboard and use a dry spoon.
What is the difference between Folgers Instant and Folgers ground coffee?
Both use the Classic Roast medium-roast profile, but the instant version is brewed coffee that has been dried into crystals, so it dissolves completely with no grounds, filter, or machine. Ground Folgers must be brewed in a drip maker, percolator, or French press and yields a fuller body. Instant is the pick for speed, travel, camping, and recipes.
Where is Folgers Classic Roast Instant Coffee made?
Folgers roasts and packs its coffee in the United States at its New Orleans, Louisiana, plant, which has been the brand's main production site for decades. The beans themselves are imported green from coffee-growing regions and then roasted, brewed, and dried into crystals domestically. This 16 oz jar is the standard US retail size, not a reformulated export version.
