Drinking coffee, like yelling at the cat, thinking about motorcycles, and setting fire to the neighbour's wicker man, is vital to starting each day. Inaugurate the a.m. with today's Groupon: for $10, you get one pound of coffee beans and a large coffee or tea beverage at Leven's Coffee Company, located in the Market Mall (up to a $24 total value).

Leven's Coffee Company supplies sumptuous sips of luscious 100 per cent Arabica fair-trade and organic coffee in a bright, modern shop. Baristas pack one-pound bounties just minutes after roasting the beans on-site, resulting in fresh cups without the unpleasant aftertaste of styrofoam packing peanuts. Perkify palates with an extra-bold and robust roast from the Dominican Republic ($15) or soothe hardworking nostrils with the rich and smooth scent of a medium-roast Guatamalan ($16). Single cups of coffee are born from a motherly french press, which steeps grounds for four minutes before releasing turning them loose on drowsy patrons. Leaf lovers can select the fruits of their preferred vines with a selection of Canadian-made teas. Gulpers who forget to bring their own coffee cradles can sip from compostable disposable cups made from corn, expunging any fear of ecological irresponsibility with the vigour of a grass-fed eraser.
