Since 1850.

The precursor of the Folger Coffee Company was founded in 1850 in San Francisco, California, U.S., as the Pioneer Steam Coffee and Spice Mills. The owner, William H. Bovee, saw an opportunity to produce roasted and ground coffee ready for brewing.^[3] Before that, Californians had to purchase green coffee beans, and roast and grind them on their own.

So To help build his mill, Bovee hired James A. Folger as a carpenter. James had arrived from Nantucket Island at the age of 15 with his two older brothers during the California Gold Rush. However back In the 1850s, kerosene began to offer a cheaper alternative to whale oil, which had been Nantucket’s life-blood, resulting in the re-purposing of many of its ships to bring coffee from South America to San Francisco.^[4] After working at Bovee’s mill for nearly a year, James had saved enough money to stake a claim in the company and headed out to mine for gold.

He agreed to carry along samples of coffee and spices, taking orders from grocery stores along the way. Upon his return to San Francisco in 1865, James became a full partner of The Pioneer Steam Coffee and Spice Mills. In 1872, he bought out the other partners and renamed the company to J.A. Folger & Co.

Our Thoughts.

I drank this coffee purely by accident. I was on vacation at my cousins house in Kearny New Jersey. For three day straight I was drinking this. I really enjoyed it. Then one day I asked my Aunt Sue what kind of coffee is this. Now I expected an answer like Gourmesso or The Donut Shop. She simply said Folders. I just could not believe it because this stuff was really good. Therefore I just could not believe this was store bought and a regular household brand. In contrast when I read the history of the company I can see why it is so good. And that is another reason to love this brand. The History alone is amazing ! So for that reason alone I love this stuff.
