If you brew upside down and don't use a lot of water, you do end up with something pretty close to espresso (including crema).
What do you mean by brewing upside down? I stopped using my Aeropress and went back to a proper machine because I missed the crema, so I'd love to know how you got one.
Landfills, consumer recycling, composting, etc. are a dangerous distraction. We have hundreds to thousands of years to solve those problems before they are any serious threat to our way of life and that of most other living things on this planet. We have no time left to solve global warming which is an immediate and critical threat to human civilization and potentially most life on Earth. Given the public's astonishi…
First and foremost the more stuff goes into landfills, the more raw materials have to be mined and processed to replace it, which consumes a lot of energy and by that increases the greenhouse gases footprint. The main point of recycling is to avoid the greenhouse gases emissions that are associated with producing products from raw materials.
A secondary problem with landfills is, especially if large amounts of compostable material go into them, that the biological degradation there happens mostly anaerobic, which in turn means it produces lots and lots of methane, which is a far more potent greenhouse gas.
In a properly setup composting facility, be it small scale in your backyard, or industrial large scale the degradation happens aerobic, so that no methane is produced.

As an environmental, this type of attitude is one of the things that concerns me most about the alarmist attitude on climate change.
Climate change is an important problem we need to solve. It is not, however, the only problem.
"It’s digital rights management, the coffee equivalent of Steve Jobs’ attempt to fill iPods only with music sold through iTunes." What?? Not really. Keurig machines refuse to use anything other than a Keurig-brand K-Cup. The iPod always played non-DRMed music. It just wouldn't play music with DRM from other stores. Any store willing to sell music without DRM is/was perfectly compatible with the iPod.
>What?? Not really. Keurig machines refuse to use anything other than a Keurig-brand K-Cup. That's not true.. there are several no Keurig-brand K-cups that are compatible with Keurig machines.

I usually only get it with really fresh beans. I normally use it for coffee though instead of espresso so if the crema is what you really enjoy an Aeropress is probably not for you.
