I'll add to OOfffs (very well stated) post. An Aeropress uses a bit of pressure (you pushing it down) in the brew process to force the water through the grounds vs a French press where you're really just steeping grounds in hot water and then straining the brewed coffee when you push the grounds to the bottom. So in a way, the aeropress process is not dissimilar to how an espresso machine brews which is why it stands to use a finer ground. I even find you get a pleasant bit of creaminess/smoothness (like an espresso) with an aeropress that you don't get with a drip, pour over or French press.

There is a World Championship for pouring hot water through a $30 plastic tube. Pay no attention to the $500 conical burr grinder or the $30/lb coffee
W.A.C. - The official home of the World AeroPress Championship

I always start my line check offering the LCP a freshly ground cup of coffee and a warmed up croissant from my travel toaster oven. Yes we push 20 late, but I wouldn’t dream of doing WARTS without it.
I did know of a captain in the regionals who would pop out his griddle in the galley during the mornings and start making breakfast.

Aeropress and McD coffee are my go to's as well. I don't think Caribou makes good drip coffee but their mochas are great. The one in A gates never has a line (because it's so far away) but they do an excellent job there (E gates not so much). Their secret is mini dark chocolate chips instead of syrup.
If you're in PDX, Portland Coffee Roasters (right after KCM) has a really good medium roast for a decent price.
Floret in SEA has good drip coffee as well. They're across from the main crew room in A gates.
I feel like Austin must have good coffee but can't remember where.
Any other airports I'm missing?

Floret in SEA and Stumptown in PDX are some real solid cups of joe. Stumptown has a really good bottled cold brew if you're in that head space but you need a bottle opener to open it. I've definitely got some looks from captains when I pull that out.

I think you'll like it. Definitely takes some tweaking to find the right ratio of grounds to water for your taste but once you find the sweet spot its glorious. Personally, I like a stronger brew, so I grind a bit finer, use about 1.5x the recommended grounds and let the water sit on it for a bit before pressing.
