Thanks for the help guys. I tried it out this morning using the above techniques and I am pleasantly surprised with the cup. This sucker just might start prying it's way into my espresso & inverted poly AP filled repertoire....
The concept of diluting a stronger brew with water to change the flavor is something I want to experiment with.

What about Aeropress Americanos? Ever tried those. I think they are pretty tasty myself. Like you, I've never been that fond of actual espresso Americanos

Well, I'm late to the party on this one (as usual ). I broke down and ordered a CCD a couple of days ago and it arrived yesterday. I'm playing with it this morning and I'm enjoying the results so far. My first attempt was "by the book" or box with 22 grams of coffee and 12 oz of water and a 4 minute brew time. The cup was very good, but maybe a tad over-extracted. I didn't change my grinder setting and I'd rather not mess with it, so I'm going to play with the amount of coffee and extraction time for the next cup. I need to get my butt outside and do some roasting for Christmas presents, so an extra cup will help me get motivated
