The instructions that come with the Aeropress work really well for dark and medium roasts. But for light roasts I recommend starting with
James Hoffman's technique. I found only really high quality, single origin, very light roasts can handle his recommended 95-100°C water so I generally use cooler water (around 85°C) even with his technique.
I've never traveled with the Aeropress so I'm not sure how hot the galley water is.
Stumptown is great. Their Hairbender blend is sold by the bag at Floret in SEA. I'm curious if they use it for their drip as well.
