Filter clogs with "1 Cup V60 Technique"

minimum dose size?

I use the Hario switch to brew my coffee and am trying to reduce my caffeine consumption. Hence I would like to brew smaller cups of coffee. I am currently using 10g of coffee with 160g of water. (1:16 Ratio) I am wondering if there is a minimum amount of coffee...

Filter clogs with "1 Cup V60 Technique"

Hello!

Until recently I've been making coffee with Hoffman's "Ultimate V60" technique, and I think it was always over- or underextracted with the odd really good cup in between. I never understood that as the parameters of the brew were generally the same every time.

Now since this video I've tried that technique, and the coffee is consistently good, which is ridiculously amazing, lol (I should have tried something else a lot sooner). However, from the 300g of water I pour (60*5), about 50g stay in the filter and just barely drains further. It stops dripping after about 3:30-3:45 minutes.

I'm using a Wilfa Svart grinder somewhere around the "Filter" setting. I started finer since it looks finer (and I did it finder with the Ultimate technique) in the video, but after the clogging I made it coarser – to no effect. The coffee is a medium-lightly roasted Ethiopian Taramesa, and the brew temperature is 95°C.

What could be the reason for this, and how do I prevent it? Furthermore, I cannot grasp why the various brew methods make such a big difference. What changes the extraction so much with various numbers of pours, that the resulting coffee is completely different?
