BMag’s Humpday Giveaway Winner! #30 (Sept. 18, 2013 Edition)

If there’s one thing you baristas love playing with, it’s different kinds of brew methods. While we can experiment endlessly with different techniques and tools, from Kalita to V60, we do find favorites that we employ for our everyday coffee enjoyment. And I’m telling you, the Brazen Brewer is pretty amazing in its consistency, accuracy, and ability to churn out exceptional coffee every single time.

The Brazen Brewer, which is this week's Humpday Giveaway prize, is totally awesome. Believe it or not, this is a home coffee brewer that features on-board system calibration, altitude correction, on-board proportional controls, pre-set/wet function, water dispersion and accuracy in temperature delivery, and wide temperature range options and manual release.

We were so thrilled when Joe Behm, the inventor not only of the Brazen Brewer but of the beloved home roaster, the Behmor 1600, gave us a brand new Brazen to give away for this week’s Humpday Giveaway! That’s an absolutely killer coffee brewer that retails for $199 for one of you for FREE! To find out all about how awesome the Brazen Brewer is, go HERE to read my interview with Joe Behm!

I know, I know, you guys want to find out who won! Fair enough.

OK, so we posed this question to you in yesterday’s trivia contest:

QUESTION: ACCORDING TO AL LIU’S ARTICLE IN THE AUGUST+SEPTEMBER ISSUE, WHAT ORGANIZATION CERTIFIES COFFEE AS ˜DIRECT TRADE’?

And the answer is…

THERE IS NO ORGANIZATION THAT CERTIFIES COFFEE AS ‘DIRECT TRADE’!

We couldn’t fool you guys ”86 of you got the answer right, and qualified to win the prize. Oh, and to clarify: the Brazen Brewer will go to the U.S. winner, and a one-year subscription to Barista Magazine to be sent anywhere in the world, will be won by one of the international players.

If you already have a subscription, you can use the prize for an additional year, or give it to someone as a gift!
