I did think of writing 'relatively high pressure' to pre-empt this pedantry. Higher pressure than just immersion, much lower than espresso. How hard you push modulates the pressure, but any added pressure is more than in a French press or pour over.

I hardly think it's pedantry to point out that if you think higher pressure = better, pressing "gently" is an odd choice.

A full grown adult standing with their full weight on their Aeropress can achieve about 4 bar of pressure; standing at the counter, pressing with one arm as hard as I can, I'm unlikely to achieve more than 1 bar. For context, an espresso traditionally requires 9 bar to properly extract. It's doubtful that that even 1 bar of pressure makes any difference to extraction at all.

But assuming that it does, and you think that pressure is a good thing - why on Earth would you instruct people to press "gently"? Now you're looking at more like 0.1 bar of pressure. That's definitely negligible, certainly not "high pressure" or even "relatively high".

What a bizarre and pointless contortion - this is exactly why I now avoid commenting on the internet.

I said the aeropress combined immersion and high pressure. What is 'high' is obviously relative, as I just qualified.

I did not say the higher the pressure the better, which is obvious enough from the fact I prefer using an aeropress to an espresso machine.
