With all due respect about your qualifications to judge gourmet coffee,
"Folgers gourmet coffee" is a contradiction in terms. It's not unlike
"giant shrimp", and "military intelligence"

Thanks for the tip off, I won't make the first batch for guests. G

My standard "home" morning coffee is made from Trader Joe's Columbian
beans with a sprinkling of their dark roast beans, ground moments before
brewing.

Smart man.

My favorite blend was some cheaparse decaf from Wally World mixed half
and half with the Sumatran beans from Costco. Costco stopped selling
the Sumatrans, damn them, and their columbian is a weak substitute.
Millstone sumatran is burnt; Kivu is decent but still weak in
comparison with the Costco beans. I can't drink much coffee any more
and it's really ****ing me off that I can't find a decent bean to
grind for under $12/lb. sigh

If you really want good coffee, roast raw beans using a popcorn popper
- instructions on the net. Potential for a little metalworking
content depending on what you do for a roaster. Freshly roasted beans
taste much better than most of what we can buy here in central PA. If
you have a local roaster who roasts daily, it may be different where
you live.
