Instead of the usual, I’m going with something completely wild, something entirely unexpected (although, I’m suuure I’ve let it slip somewhere), by having a coffee grounds giveaway! I’ve been wanting to do this since, it seems like, forevvvver.
I just love the name of the coffee bean roaster here in Memphis (home to BBQ, Graceland, and the Blues if ya didn’t already know!) called “Ugly Mug”. Cuuuute name, huh? And their coffee blend flavors are just as gnarly, too!
First Cup (Easy Roast)
Saving Grace (Balanced)
Good Vibes (Balanced)
Story Time (Balanced)
Hardy Passion (Bold)
Making Waves (Bold)
Think Big (Bold)
Classic Espresso (Bold)
Here’s the prize lineup:
Thanks to David’s generous donation, I am giving away 2 bags (12 oz. each) of Ugly Mug Coffee to 2 winners. I’m also throwing in a $5 Subway gift card as a consolation prize for 1 runner-up.
To enter drawing, answer these 4 questions in the “Post a Comment” section below:
1. Which type of coffee roast do you gravitate to: Easy, Balanced, or Bold
2. Which of the following phrases best describes your personality?
3. Which coffee “set” you’d like to receive if you’re the winner: Mild/Easy (First Cup + Story Time), Bold (Saving Grace + Hardy Passion), or “No Preference”
4. If you’ve already experienced Ugly Mug Coffee, which flavors have you tried?
My own answers are:
I’m not a coffee drinker, but if I were, I’d start with Easy, then slowly work my way up to Bold.
I’m a “Think Big” kind of person, although I’m pretty sure some people would say I’m more of a “Making Waves” kind of gal. LOL.
Click here to check out all of Ugly Mug’s merchandise.
Drawing will close on Tuesday, July 28th @ 9pm PST. One entry per person, please. Limited to United States and Canadian residents only. Two grand prize winners and one runner-up will be chosen at random (not based on responses) using Random Integer Generator and will be announced by noon Wednesday.
If you’d like to be notified of my giveaways, send an email to subscribe [at] yummies4tummies [dot] com
My fine print: Your entries will be used for entertainment purposes only! I will never ever share your private info with others. Winners have 48 hours to respond to my notification, otherwise a new winner will be drawn.
Anne T. wins the Bold Set, and the Mild set is going to Gabriel J. Jackie will receive the $5 Subway gift card. Please check your email.
There are more Bold drinkers, but Mild isn’t too far behind.
My next giveaway will likely be the week of August 10th, this blog’s first year anniversary.
Everyone, thank you so much for participating!

1. That’s easy… BOLD for me!
2. Hardy Passion! My mantra in life is “Passion is what keeps us sane!”
3. Would ‘prefer’ the BOLD package, but if it’s coffee of ANY kind, I’ll drink it
4. Unfortunately I haven’t tried Ugly Mug cuz I’ve never HEARD of it til now.
Hi there
Thanks for telling me about this giveaway. I LOVE ugly mug coffee and have started purchasing it from the Memphis Kroger.
1. I am definitely BOLD.
2. Hardy Passion is my favorite Ugly Mug flavor, followed by Saving Grace.
3. I would love the bold package.
4. I’ve nearly tried them all. We drink Hardy Passion most of the time. There is another one with the word pecan in it, right? Loved that one. Gave some to family members in KY because we like it so much

3. I think the Saving Grace and Hardy Passion would make a good combo for reading theology.
4. I think I used to buy Sumatra and Hazel Nut when it was available at a now sadly gone grocery store not far from here.

I love balanced coffee, or bold. I make it depending on my mood.
My personality is best described by as “Saving Grace”, and so I would definitely love to get the set Saving Grace and Hardy Passion.
I haven’t tried any of their coffee yet, but I would love to try it. I LOVE coffee!
Take care,

2. Story Time
3. Mild/Easy
4. I’ve not tried them, although I usually go for single origins.
As a coffee drinker I suppose that it depends upon the day and the time of day
usually I am in the mood for a nice bold cup of coffee that wakes me up and has a strong taste (I usually take it black). Although, on some occasions such as on a rainy day, a lighter/smoother cup would be accepted to match the mood of Mother Nature.
If I were to describe myself with one of the terms given above, I would have to choose Good Vibes do to my optomistic personality and willingness to help a stranger. But Story Time is a very close second due to my passion for reading and writing.
If I were to win I should think that I would like to recieve the Saving Grace and Hardy Passion in the Bold Set. Although, when presented with an opportunity to obtain gifts I would not be picky
I have honestly never experienced Ugly Mug coffee before but I would love to! This is actually the first time that I have heard of the brand and am quite excited to have the opportunity of entering to win a couple of bags.
Thank you for your time
