This is how I’ve gotten this to work as of writing. Consult the Arch Wiki DisplayLink page for proper documentation, this is the main source for this guide. By default, the only things that will work on the ThinkPad 40AF dock will be the USB ports, additional ethernet interface, and the charging.https://klaire.codes/coffee/coffee-notes/Wed, 03 Jan 2024 12:08:35 -0500https://klaire.codes/coffee/coffee-notes/Equipment Equipment weights (note: inaccurate scale): Kettle: 682.0g Aeropress: 183.0g Filter holder: 15.0g Base: 84.5 Plunger: 84.0 Grinder: 540.5g Grounds holder: 105.5g Bean Assembly: 330.5g Arm: 105.0g Melitta Dripper: 57.0g Hario Decanter: 387.0g Eric Cup: 235.0g General Coffee Notes General starting ratios: Infusion: 75g/L Percolation: 60g/L Use a coarser grind for a Melitta than for a V60. V60 plastic more worth it than ceramic because preheating it is annoying. Experiment: V60 method with Melitta vs blooming and just pouring all the water all at once Results: V60 had a lot more body and flavor, worth the extra effort Very similar once cooled V60 handles finer grinds MUCH better, way more body and flavor coming through Grind Notes Grinder: Chestnut C3 ESPhttps://klaire.codes/coffee/coffee/bunnik-aeropress-champion-2019/Wed, 03 Jan 2024 11:53:48 -0500https://klaire.codes/coffee/coffee/bunnik-aeropress-champion-2019/Credit for this recipe belongs to Wendelien van Bunnik and her winning recipe for the 2019 World Aeropress Championship.
