Luxist Giveaway: Superba Coffee Prize Pack (Coffee, French Press, and Mug)

Filed under: Dining

Sipping a great cup of coffee in the morning is one of life's simplest pleasures, and one that Superba Coffee takes very seriously. Based out of Marina Del Ray in California their mission is perfection in every area, from sourcing to roasting to distributing.

Superba Coffee is roasted in small batches using eco-friendly technology and monitored every step of the way by master roasters, who personally sign and date-stamp every box before it ships out. They offer products for both general consumers and wholesalers in the form of fine restaurants, hotels, and cafes. I haven't had the pleasure personally but their coffee, available in Classic or Decaf, certainly sounds delish and received high marks in this independent review.

Now for the fun part: Superba Coffee is offering one of our readers a prize package that has everything you need for brewing and drinking a perfect cup of morning joe. One random winner will receive the following:

4 Boxes of Superba Classic Blend fresh roasted coffee (approximately a month's supply) roasted to a perfect medium roast profile
An 8-cup Bodum French Press for no-waste brewing of deep, full-flavored coffee
A branded Superba ceramic mug in your choice of either glossy black or white

To enter leave a comment on this post telling us what a great cup of coffee means to you, or what happens when you don't get one in the morning. Good luck!

Celebrate Valentine's Day at Alain Ducasse's traditional French bistro Benoit New York, the highly acclaimed French bistro and you just may end up winning a two-night stay at L'Andana, Ducasse's country hotel in Tuscany, Italy.

Indeed, Valentine's Day guests will be given a candied apple to take away, which will reveal the lucky winner of the giveaway.

Ducasse envisioned L'Andana as a comfortable countryside inn with the spirit and atmosphere of a guesthouse, while also providing the finest hotel amenities and services to its guests.

On Sunday, February 13th, Benoit Executive Chef Philippe Bertineau will be offering the regular à la carte menu and a $65 prix-fixe menu.

Chocrí's website, appropriately located at "createmychocolate.com," makes you a gourmet chocolatier with a choice of several fair trade organic Belgian chocolate 'bases' that you can then personalize with any number of more than 100 spices, fruits, nuts, and confectionery toppings for an all but endless list of potential combinations. Dark chocolate with candied rose petals and gold flakes? Check. Milk chocolate with pistachios, sea salt, and lime drops? Check. I don't know how anyone could ever order just one.

Chocrí doesn't think anyone should have to settle for just one either so they're generously offering one Luxist reader a gift certificate good for two customized chocolate bars of your choice, or your sweetheart's choice if you can bear to part with it, which could be worth up to $30 depending on options. Chocrí gift certificates are available in any amount and can be in your hands within minutes of ordering, which makes them perfect for last minute gift giving this holiday. So head on over to the website and construct a few dream bars and then enter to win them by leaving a comment here telling us what two flavor combinations sound the best to you.
