I’m with @Jonny69 with this, except for the dark roast bit. I mainly put naturals though the aeropress and I don’t push the air through the grounds over the cup. I do that down the plug hole to make the puck to keep things neat. I know that loses the aero part, but it works for me.
Yes a to courser than espresso grind.

This is what I do but usually leave it a couple of minutes. I find the brew develops a bit more, but I tend to prefer darker roasts (which aren’t so popular).
Agree with @hangedup that it doesn’t do short or strong brews very well. It has a window that it works perfectly fine in. V60 does a better filter brew (imo), espresso does better espresso and lungo. But the Aeropress has the advantage of being able to fill it up and walk away, then being able to just dump the grounds in a convenient puck (unlike cafetière).
