Watery corner-store coffee making you rethink your java routine? Hurry and grab some mostly shade-grown, fair-trade blends from De La Paz Coffee. Sourcing its beans from co-ops of small farms, DLP's light and medium roasts, such as the citrus-y La Luna blend, pack surprisingly up-front flavors. And if (well, when) you develop a sudden craving for the chocolate goodness of the organic Sumatra Mandheling, DLP will deliver it for free - by bike - anywhere in SF. Hit up the Mission warehouse, and get a buck off when you refill one of its signature paper sacks. Just go for it.

Wanna Try: 

De La Paz Coffee, available online or at 933 Treat Ave. at 23rd St. (415-259-4562). Sumatra Mandheling, $6 for 1/2 lb bag.

Cocktail Fact

A 2005 study suggested that caffeine acts as an aphrodisiac in females who don't consume it regularly - unfortunately, the study concerned rats, not humans.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 SF Biters drink their daily cuppa from a reusable mug rather than a disposable cup, in a year we'll keep the weight of 34 Hummers out of landfills.
