Aeropress and French Press make fundamentally different coffees. The paper filter in the Aeropress changes the taste and "feel" of the coffee in ways that many people prefer. Additionally, the pressure created during the "pressing" process changes the extraction a bit (nowhere near as much as espresso type pressures, but more than nothing).
