Understand that a demand curve shift means a change in demand at every price, not just a movement along the curve caused by price changes.
Recall that an increase in consumers' income will shift the demand curve to the right if the good is a normal good, because consumers buy more at every price.
Recognize that a movement along the demand curve happens when the price of the good itself changes, not a shift of the curve.
Note that a decrease in the price of coffee causes a movement down along the demand curve (increase in quantity demanded), not a shift of the demand curve.
Understand that an increase in the price of coffee causes a movement up along the demand curve (decrease in quantity demanded), not a shift of the demand curve.
