Counting the Beans - Zabar's Coffee Contest

Nope, we didn't shrink a lb of Zabar's coffee, nor is that a child's size mug -- it's a French press to fuel quite a group of coffee lovers!
Join our contest to win a free lb of Zabar's Coffee. Just guess how many beans are in this French press and we'll choose the nearest answer. (In the case of a tie we'll select a random winner.) zabars
HINTS: the French press' height is 17.3 inches and the circumference is 29.9 inches.
