Like a queen bee, a good cup of coffee is carefully tended to by workers, generates a buzz, and makes you scream if it lands between your eyes. Save face with today's Groupon to Paper or Plastik Cafe. Choose between the following options:

• For $7, you get five 12-ounce pour-over coffees, plus 30% off all food items (a $15 value).
For $14, you get 10 12-ounce pour-over coffees, plus 30% off all food items (a $30 value).

Paper or Plastik Cafe serves specialty pour-over coffee alongside sandwiches, salads, and fresh pastries in a sleek, hip environment. Brewing fair-trade Intelligentsia and Ecco Caffe beans, the shop's baristas masterfully prepare each cup individually using a ceramic Hario V60 and a manual pour-over method. The angle of the V60's cone and its internal ribbing produce the ideal extraction of the fresh grounds' flavor, depth, and ability to tell the future. With 30% off all food items, Groupon customers can sample locally sourced pastries as well as freshly crafted sandwiches and salads. Today's Groupon is valid over multiple visits, and customers will receive a punch card after their first coffee is redeemed.

Patrons can enjoy sips of java within Paper or Plastik's modern environs downstairs at a repurposed hardwood table, or ascend the stairs for a view of the shop from a lofted lounge area. The hip, relaxed environment provides a quiet setting for get-togethers, light reading, or caffeine-fueled existentialist rants about the 27th dimension.
