It’s called the AeroPress and it works on the same concept of an Espresso Maker. The water is heated to a very precise 175 degrees Fahrenheit, coffee ground fine, stir for 10 seconds, and plunge immediately for 20 seconds. The combination of 175 degree water, very little time for the coffee to sit in the water, and steady pressure creates a cup of coffee with very little bitterness and wonderful flavor. It is portable, a space saver, fun to use and makes GREAT coffee! 
Best Coffee Ever. Seriously!

The story of us:
Julie and Brian first met in the Summer of 2003 while working at Camp Winston, a special needs camp in the Muskoka area of Ontario. They spent the year working together both at camp and at Blooming Acres, a residential home school for children with a wide variety of special needs. The following year they packed up Brian’s 1972 VW bus and Julie’s rabbit (Bilbo) and headed out on a journey across Canada. They knew they would live in British Columbia, but first wanted to see the rest of Canada. So they spent 6 weeks travelling to Nova Scotia, down to Boston and New York and back to Toronto before finally heading to the west coast. Brian had lived in BC before and had visited a beautiful place that had mountains, ocean and forest which met all of their requirements for the ideal place to live. The destination was the Comox Valley.
Over the course of 3 years they: lived on the ocean, became foster parents, added many animals to their family and bought a house in Cumberland. They fell in love with Cumberland because of it’s great atmosphere, proximity to a wide variety of forest trails and Brian especially liked the music scene. When Julie became pregnant with their son Kailan, their world began to quickly shift. Suddenly the need to eat and live more organically (they had already started this process) became a top priority. In order to get some of the things they needed/wanted for their home and child they needed to travel to Victoria or Vancouver. They decided that more people in their community should have easier access to these products, and so it began.
Organic Family opened for business on March 28th, 2008….and the story continues to unfold.
