By the way, there are add-on espresso gadgets for the Aeropress, I've the Fellow Prismo and in my opinion it works quite well. Making larger amounts, like a triple espresso, is a hassle though.

For espresso-like strong coffee, I just use the good old Moka pot. Slightly more work than Aeropress, especially regarding the cleanup, but not that much.

Also, a tip about the ice cubes: make strong coffee with the Moka pot, freeze, then dump the cubes into a smoothie blender (with milk if you like) before drinking. Saves you the mindfulness exercise of watching ice cubes melt.
