Realized how to make a faux espresso with a french press

[javacentral]

I realized that I can make some really strong coffee with my french press, did a little digging around the internet, and I think I made some form of wanna be espresso!

That is not espresso. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but if you want espresso you need a machine.

The Aeropress that I just purchased also claims to be able to produce a pseudo-espresso output. My reaction to this claim is exactly yours Topher...That is not espresso!!!

Hey, all you coffee-snobs, give the guy a break. He DID say "wanna-be" espresso, after all.

You should all be careful not to be caught in a rainstorm without an umbrella - with your noses so high in the air you might drown...
