Answer 4

Hi Ed. the short answer is no.

they are two different drinks. just like drip coffee tastes different to espresso. you can make really nice strong coffee in a french press (or plunger, depending on where you are from) and it often has more flavour and body than drip coffee, however you will not get the same results as espresso because espresso forces the hot water through the coffee grounds under pressure.

hope this helps
