I would not compare them to a cup of filter coffee because that’s an entirely different drink. Both espresso and the moka pot use pressure as a means to push water through grounds. Filter is obviously immersion. I think the comparison is pretty sensical

Where does the Aeropress sit here?

Well, for me, it’s an immersion brewer as I use it inverted. Yes, I know I’m using pressure to push the water through grounds but that’s just the nature of the brewer. I could just as easily let the coffee drip through by itself. Which I have done before.

I guess my point was highlighting how some comparisons between different types of brewing methods can be made to seem a bit ridiculous depending on the rules use to categorise them.
I'm not saying making comparisons between different brewing methods is without value (it certainly can be), but I'd argue that saying one is 'better' than another in my opinion is relatively worthless given how subjective it is.

Anyway, I'm starting to ramble here. We're all free to enjoy our coffee regardless of brewing method or which numbered wave we decide.
