The problem with an aeropress or anything else is the added weight. You already have a stove and pot for heating water with the jetboil, all you add is the screen and stick for the press, maybe 50g? Its a super light setup. No matter how you make the coffee, you still have to clean it up.
The sock trick is cool, but then you have to figure out a way to pack out a dirty wet sock, and if you are gone multiple days you need multiple socks or have to figure out a way to clean that out too.
I looked into a lot of ways to make coffee in the backcountry, and to me the jetboil looked to be the quickest, with the least added gear and weight. Plus at the time, the jetboil french press kit was cheaper than the regular jetboil. The stove itself kicks ass for boiling water, enough for dinner in about 3minutes!
