Right.
This is what I do at a farmer's market, thus the need for paper. As for
doing it in a paper cup in a tumbler, that presents a hassle for
extrating the cup from the tumbler without handling the rim --
something that's a bit of a faux pas in beverage service.

Use a thicker, lexan tumbler, cut a slot down one side and make a
round lifter that goes into the tumbler before the paper cup that has
a little handle that sticks out of the slot for lifting- like a little
round spatula...

Or make a "basket" out of a couple of pieces of wire bent in a U-shape (then
bent horizontal when they reach the rim, so they don't interfere with the
aeropress - sort of a serif-font U). That way you don't have to cut
anything. Coat hangers are your friend.

I suppose you could put the paper cup inside a glass or acrylic tumbler and
that would work too - you probably already own a glass that would work.
Better yet brew the coffee into the glass directly - I hate coffee in paper
cups and they add to the waste stream to boot.

That's why I recommend Taster's Choice - nothing to "add to the waste
stream", just delicious coffee.

I trust you're using "coat hangers" as proxy for "heavier metal?"
It's surprising how little room there is for maneuvre by the time you
have the rim of a paper cup around the cap of the Aero. One thing about
the Aero, it was designed to have its cap as deep into the cup as
setting the Aero on top of a cup allows. So any method of pressing into
paper cups has to be made with a specific cup height in mind -- within
a fraction of an inch. The alternative is to have random coffee mess
while pressing, no matter how well-centered on the cup. Whatever one
uses, it has to have no flex whatsoever, and it has to be an exact
height. The interior has to leave room for the cup's width at the top,
but not be so wide as to make the Aero's frame vulnerable to slipping
or tipping from uneven support.
It's actually kind of tricky to get this right!
