## General Notes on Nomad and J-Max
- Hard to figure out dose. Since the shower screen does not intrude into the basket at all, in theory it should be a _good_ idea to overfill the basket. In practice, 16g seems like a very safe number for the coffees I drink, and up to 18g is still fairly practical if I'm careful when loading the basket.
- Ballpark grind range seems to be 1.2-1.5 give or take.
- Slow feeding requires going several steps finer
- 1:3-1:5 ratios seem to suit my coffees and preferences
- Pre infusion followed by 4-6 bar pressure, declining, seems to be relatively reliable
## J-Max
- [Grind Setting](https://1zpresso.coffee/grind-setting/)
- [Manual](https://1zpresso.coffee/manual-jmax-en/)
- Espresso range per manual is 1.0 to 1.6 where Rotation.Numeral. (90 clicks to 150 clicks)

| FC Kigarama | 1.5.5 | 1.4.2 | 1:4.7 | 15g | 70g | 12 pump pre-infuse /10s | 6 bar fast decline | Too fast, but drinkable long |
| FC Layo Teraga | 1.6.5 | 1.5.2 | 1:5 | | | | 6 bar | Could go a couple notches finer |
| Morgan DTC | 1.5.5 | 1.4.2 | 1:3 | | | | 6 bar | Little slow, tastes good |
| Hyd. El Paraiso Decaf | 1.4.8 | 1.3.5 | 1:2.8 | 14g | 40g | 12 pump pre-infuse /10s | 5 bar declining | Very tasty, fruit everywhere. |
| OLD (11 month) Hyd. El Paraiso Decaf | | 1.3 to 1.3.2 | 1:3 | 18-20g | | 12 pump | 6-7 bar declining | |
| Kaveri Bright | 1.5.0 | 1.3.7 | 1:2 | 14g | 28g | | 6 bar | Little bitter, otherwise good |
| MT Decaf Peru | | 1.3.5 | | 14g | 35g | | 6 bar | Little bitter, good in milk |
| MT Thrist Trap | | 1.5.0 | | 17g | 54g | 12 pump | 4 bar | Hmm not sure about taste. Maybe try going coarser and longer ratio. And/or back off the dose to 15-16g. |
| Luna Pacas | | 1.4.0 SF | | 16g | 55g | 12 pump | 4 bar | Pretty tasty, on the acidic side. |
| Luna Pacas | | 1.3.0 SF | | 16g | 57g | 12 pump | 6 bar declin8ng | Decent but some astringency |
| Luna Pacas | | 1.3.5 | | 16g | 57g | 12 pump | 5 bar declining | Pretty good |
| Sought & Found Catur Kamala Decaf | | 1.4 | | 18g | 54g | 12 pump | 4 bar | Not bad, but tough to build pressure. The roast is a bit scorchy. |
| Sought & Found Catur Kamala Decaf | | 1.3.5 SF | | 18g | 54g | 12 pump | 3.5 bar | |
| Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster | | 1.2.5 SF | | 18g | 45g | 12 pump | 8 bar decl | 18g is slightly too much for this coffee. Flavor is excellent at this ratio for a milk drink or americano, would be better at a bit longer ratio to drink straight. |
| Colorfull Decaf (Benitez) | | 1.2 | 1:3 | 17 | 51 | PSPH | 7-5 bar | Slow for the intended profile, but did not taste too bad. |
| Colorfull Decaf (Benitez) | | 1.3.0 | 1:3 | 17 | 51 | PSPH | 4 bar decl | Not bad, some sweetness. Took a little longer than intended (this is supposed to be very turbo) so could probably go a bit coarser still, but not by a lot. Was delicious as an aerocano |
| Colorfull Decaf (Benitez) | | 1.2 | 1:3 | 17 | 51 | PSPH | 7-5 bar | Slow for the intended profile, but did not taste too bad. |

| Colorfull Decaf (Benitez) | | 1.3.3 | | 17 | 40 | PSPH | 4 bar decl | Probably as good as I can do with this coffee for drinking straight. Low bitterness, acidic but also sweet. |
| Cat and Cloud Ethiopia Kercha (Medium Roast) | | 1.3 | 1:2 | 17 | 34 | PSPH | 6 bar | I think probably relatively traditional result. Mild acidity, bittersweet. Not unpleasant to drink straight, but not my personal favorite coffee experience. |
Note: RW Desvelado after a few weeks pulls very fast at the same or even quite finer grind setting. Still fa
Note: resetting zero point based on official guidance: new zero point is 0.1.3 coarser than the old zero point.
Post calibration El Paraiso totally turbos at 1.5.8 which should be a fair bit finer. Hmm.
Oops went backwards lol. Anyway El Paraiso 1.3 14.5 in 35 out at 6 bar is pretty good but quite strong and a little overextracted.
MT Teshome
T Teshome 1.3.5 choke city
BW Elkin Guzman Strawberry 1.3.0 is basically spot on for 6 bar.
Older el Paraiso decaf 1.2.5 good at 6 bar
FC Astrid Medina overloaded 20g 1.4.0 7-8 bar pretty good but could go coarser by quite a bit with the added dose. Great as an aerocano.
