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).

- jon-wood 12y agoWhat 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.

- karlshea 12y agoI 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.
- semi-extrinsic 12y agoI also brew upside down, and I do get foam. But this is the same type of foam that you get with a french press. I think the difference is that this foam is caused by heat, while a good crema is caused by the pressure. It certainly tastes and looks different.
