Everyone knows you can't make espresso-style coffee with an aeropress
Do they? Fine grind 20g/60ml/60secs beats the hell out of making espresso at home for me.
Stevethecoffee-
I would consider it to be a small strong coffee, rather than espresso style.

making espresso at home
There is an irony to spending ages making a coffee in a format originally designed (or at least popularised) as a mass production / fast food.
Just to contain the controversy in one post I'm going to share two discoveries that may make some readers cry;
- Fortnum & Mason breakfast blend. I know that blended coffee is now equivalent to putting ice in claret, but it has probably given me the most around pleasurable cup of coffee I've had since drinking coffee in CR and Colombia via those baggy stand filter things. Not sure you can get it outside of a hamper.
- Kenco Americano. Great for having in the house to give to other people, but also... 1tsp of coffee, 1tsp of sugar, boiling water, splash of milk and you've got the coffee equivalent of a McDonald's cheese burger.

Hold the phone - how does this relate to your YB ‘aeropress grind’ setting - I generally do 17g /250ml / 2.5 mins plus a 30 sec press (basically Hoffman’s) with it.
Yes I need a grinder.

Bialetti? Everyone knows you can't make espresso-style coffee with an aeropress.
With that said, if the volume of water is going to be espresso-style, the Go version immediately makes more sense.
