SIGN-UP FOR DAILY TIPS

If 10,000 SF Biters opt for a cup of organic coffee each day instead of nonorganic, in a year we'll prevent the weight of 345 pots of coffee in pesticides from entering the environment.

Sprinkling spent coffee grounds around the plants in your garden will help repel snails and slugs.

Pick Me Up

The Bite

Hey, baby, what's your sign? We're into the strong, silent type, at least when it comes to java, preferably a cup (or five) of organic dark French roast from Capricorn Coffee. Capricorn is home to eight varieties of organic blends - delivering all the caffeine without the pesticides - including a medium-bodied signature blend and a chocolately Ethiopian Yirgachaffe that's fair as fair-trade can be. You can pick it up by the pound (either whole bean or in one of seven grinds) at Good Life Grocery stores and Harvest Urban Market, or chat up a perfectly brewed cup at its SOMA shop.

Wanna Try

Capricorn Coffee, 353 10th St. b/t Folsom and Harrison Sts. (415-621-8500). One lb. of organic dark French roast, $7.80; one 16-oz. cup of organic dark French roast, $1.50.
