Win a Baratza Coffee Grinder!


Do you bleed for your local espresso shop?

Do you spend all of your free time patronizing a particular coffeehouse?

We want to hear about it!

In the spirit of good will to all humans, we have teamed up with the fine people of When I Work to host a contest for one fortunate soul to win a Baratza Virtuoso Conical Burr Coffee Grinder (check it out here on Prima's website)! All that you need to do to enter is the name of your favorite coffeehouse!

One of the things we aim to do here at the Pure Coffee Blog is to mine out great coffee establishments, and now's the time to give your favorite coffee business some limelight! Simply fill out the form below and submit it (one form submission per person) and then you MUST confirm your entry via an email that will be sent to your email address provided (NOTE: check your spam folder; it will be an email from "Pure Coffee Blog").

To get a bonus entry, send a picture of your favorite coffeehouse (one that you have permission to use) to contest.purecoffee@gmail.com . We ask that you stay away from national coffeehouse chains (aka a place that has more than 30 locations), as it complicates things. The contest goes until January 19th, 2015! After we've selected the winner and the winner's favorite coffeehouse, we will definitely release some of the other coffeehouses nominated!

**Note that by clicking "Subscribe" below, you are agreeing to the Rules and Stuff that follows the entry form. It should also be noted that you are not subscribing to anything except this contest (no newsletter emails will follow).**


---- THE CONTEST HAS ENDED! THANKS TO THOSE WHO ENTERED!----



Win a Baratza Coffee Grinder Official Rules and Stuff
- To Enter: Beginning on December 18, 2014, interested parties (the “entrant”) may enter online by visiting http://www.purecoffeeblog.com/2014/12/winabaratza.html, then by completing the entry registration form (which includes full name, email address and favorite coffee establishment) and then confirming the subscription in a message sent to the entrant's email. Each entrant may receive one bonus entry by submitting a picture of the same coffee establishment named in the entry form (note that entrant must have ownership or permission to use picture) to contest.purecoffee@gmail.com . 
We ask that all coffeehouses nominated as the entrant's favorite not be a part of a national chain (a national chain is defined in this case as any coffee establishment with more than 30 physical locations). We also require that the coffeehouse submitted is an actual existing business that is still in operation (aka no coffeehouse shout outs from a place that shut its doors forever in 1985). If such places as described above are submitted, the entrant may be contacted (though this is not promised) and asked to revise their pick. Failure to submit a correct coffee establishment or to revise said pick could result in the entrant's submission being rendered null and void. 

- Sponsor (Pure Coffee Blog and When I Work) is not responsible for entries not received due to electronic or technical reasons beyond Sponsor's reasonable control. Limit ONE single form entry per person regardless of method of entry (aka entering the same person with different physical or email addresses is not ok).

The winner will be notified by email within 2 days of the drawing with details on how to claim their prize.

Great contest! Baratza Virtuoso is good, currently I am looking for something similar. In http://www.coffeegrinderworld.com/baratza-virtuozo-coffee-grinder/ they say that if Baratza Virtuoso can produce some static though. Do you agree with that?
