I would categorise aeropress as filter.

You know what, I think you're right. But then does that change if you use a metal filter instead of paper? That's more like a plunger.

I think of filter as pouring water through coffee, through a paper filter. The way I use the aeropress is more akin to a plunger. Coffee grounds and hot water, then let it sit for a while before "plunging" it. But it's made with less water then you top it up after.

Methods involving pouring water through coffee (espresso, V60, Mokapot, etc.) are percolation and aeropress plunger, and turkish are immersion.

I guess I'd call filter anything that largely relies on an additional filter to do the brew process, although it's largely characterised by a larger less concentrated brew.
