French Press Contest

by Mike in Coffee Contests

Share on Twitter

Thanks to Community Coffee, I have a shiny red Bodum French Press sitting on my counter. I think it would look a lot better on your counter.

If you don’t have a French Press, you’re missing out. I do almost all of my reviews with the French Press, mainly because it creates the most flavorful coffee. With it, I can taste things that I can’t taste with my drip coffee maker. In other words, a French Press is a must have for any coffee lover. Read my review of the Bodum French Press.

If you already have a French Press, this would make for a great mother’s day gift!

Posted and tweeted :) Love the look of the press. All of Bodums products are worth having in your home .

Opps sorry hit the send too fast. The reason I would LOVE to have it is that it would add some color to my drab kitchen and be a wonderful brewing change for my beloved Community Coffee:)

Live in Colorado and we order CC year round! I adore the Carnivale Cake and In Between Roast! I would redesign my kitchen around this hot red Bodum French Press! Oh my goodness, it is gorgeous! ;D

I’m pressed for time in the morning and red that this would make a perfect cup of coffee to make my day.

Faith April 15, 2010 at 10:22 pm

Mike…I really need a french press its only fair I got you an espresso machine! :)

Joe April 15, 2010 at 11:24 pm

I love being pressed by the French…especially when carried out by Bodum’s Red French Press…I’m happy when I’m not “de-pressed”!

Joe April 15, 2010 at 11:58 pm

I need to get something off my chest…
I wear shirts that are pressed…
I wear pants that are pressed…
I love my Cuban Sandwiches pressed…
So you ask what is my quest?
To impress my girl…Celeste
I like my Community Coffee pressed…
but only with Bodum’s Red French Press…
Why? Just ask Celeste…it’s the best!

I would LOVE this French Press because I drink coffee EVERY morning! I am brewing New Orleans coffee right now, French Roast, and I brew it again when I get to work! I would use this French Press with much honor! I love New Orleans, don’t live there anymore but I love and miss it! Thanks!

cheryl bankston April 16, 2010 at 10:05 am

I have a 4 cup travel size French Press that I use when the lights go out and all I have is my gas stove to make Community Coffee. I would love to have a big one and eliminate the Mr. Coffee. I often use the small French Press just to get the most out of my New Orleans Blend!

I would like to win this Bodum Red French Press becasue my fiance (the big day is May 29th) and I would like to add it to our new joint kitchen. We both have red appliances and accesories already, and this would look great with it. Also, making coffee in a Bodum Red French Press would be incredible and I can’t wait to brew some Community Coffee Private Reserve Pecan Praline in it…super yummy!

I also added this this contest on my facebook page.

Thanks for the French Press!

Dana April 16, 2010 at 5:04 pm

I posted this to my facebook page! And I want this French Press because I’ve never owned one before and I have been told it is one of the best ways to make coffee. And because it is in red it’ll match my kitchen! Also my birthday is coming up and it would be an early birthday present for me! :)

Bill April 16, 2010 at 8:25 pm

Mike:
I would like to have a french press to complement the other coffee makers that we have. It looks good too. Thanks for the opportunity.

Randy Saunders April 16, 2010 at 9:06 pm

I am a hopeless coffee addict! My Bunn died and I had to drag out an old Mr. Coffee I had saved for emergencies. i can’t afford a new one right now. HELP!

Jason Coffee April 17, 2010 at 9:14 am

I saw that picture and was like, “hey that’s my french press!” I just picked up that french press the other day for my daily reviews because it matched my painting in the background.

Fun Contest! Good Luck to EVERYONE!

Lauri Rottmayer April 18, 2010 at 9:26 am

I love love love red. It would be a perfect accent with my black and white kitchen! :-)

Phebe April 18, 2010 at 9:49 am

I would like to win this because my current method is way too slow. It’s a filter-like metal thingy that sits atop the cup, you put the grounds in, then there’s a lid that you loosely screw on top. My friend bought it for me because she had this most wonderful coffee at a Vietnamese restaurant and that’s what they used. I have to fill it 3X with hot water and let it drip thru before I get a full cup. I need my coffee faster!!! (entry #1)

I REALLY need this french press so @CoffeeNate won’t ridicule me anymore.

sangaliciuos1 April 19, 2010 at 9:33 am

This would make an awesome Birthday gift for my cousin who’s birthday is next month! He drink’s coffee 24/7 . I don’t understand how he can drink coffee before goin to sleeep and throughout the whole day!

I NEED this french press! Honestly! Can’t live without it! Or maybe I just really really want it :) Thanks for bringing the newsletter back!

Andy April 19, 2010 at 6:28 pm

I have always wanted to try a french press.

John Brady April 20, 2010 at 11:40 am

I simply love the taste of French Roast Coffee. We are in the market for a new press because we broke the glass on our last one and haven’t been able to find a new one. Also the color of it would match my wifes theme in the kitchen., She loves red.

Rose Casanova April 20, 2010 at 2:17 pm

Hey Mike,
I didn’t want to enter this contest because I already own 2 of these. I wanted to keep my name out so I don’t win, not that I would have won, but I don’t want to be greedy, although I do like the red.

Patrick April 20, 2010 at 2:32 pm

I love Freedom Presses. Are we still stupidly substituting Freedom for all words French? Anyways, I’ll be honest, I’m broke and could really use it since my last French/Freedom Press just shattered.

Jesse April 20, 2010 at 3:38 pm

I currently I a Bodum French Press and I love the taste of the coffee it produces. The one I have is black and the red one would go great on my coffee bar. In those instances when I have guests over, it wouldn’t hurt to have two presses. Thanks for the opportunity.

Megan April 21, 2010 at 5:53 pm

I would love to win this French Press so my husband can stop “MacGyver-ing” his own FP coffee at home. Really…I mean, how many paperclips and rubber bands can you go through in the name of good coffee? Pick me! :)

BaristaOnDutY April 21, 2010 at 9:56 pm

I’d love it b/c is beautiful…and I know I will one day break mine. Or I’d pass the coffee passion on!! There is NOTHING like french pressed coffee-we love talking our customers into trying one when they have time! Did so yesterday and shared a tasting and pairing with them, so great! Sorry to ramble!
