Roughly I'd say it should be similar to a V60 pourover but less 'clean' with more body, perhaps a heavier mouthfeel. Most decent coffee shops offer either V60 or Aeropress as the 'filter' choice so that might give you an idea of their similarity. A lovely black coffee that isn't hot water drowning a beautiful espresso.
Time-wise, as you can see from this page everyone has different ideas! I kind of see it as a method that should be quicker than a pourover as there's active pressure involved, so I wouldn't want to go over a 90 second steeptime.
And as you currently smash the espressos I wouldn't bother trying anything remotely similar to espresso on the Aeropress.
Do you work at Monmouth?
Oh and angelasalt - just order one from Coffee Hit.
