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...

I know almost nothing about coffee, but I carefully make my wife chemex pour over every morning and I’m looking for ways to surprise and delight her. Suggestions?

See title. I’ve never been a coffee drinker and a relative newbie. I’m more of a tea fan, and I have some medical things that limit my caffeine intake. My wife however absolutely lives and dies by her morning coffee. A few months ago the nice coffee maker I got her kicked the bucket – partially due to our hard water. Being an early riser – and not wanting to spend $ for her to get an expensive but unsatisfying coffee maker – made I’ve been making her pour over with an old ChemEx every morning with her favorite local hazelnut roaster (she loves the blend)

Hazelnut | Leelanau Coffee Roasting Co.

My method is as follows: 44g medium grind, 150 mL, 45 sec, 250 mL, 90 sec, 350 mL, drip till done.

It is my way of sharing in love with her as she grumpily wakes up every morning.

I’d love to find some ways to surprise and delight my wife in the morning. Any suggestions for relatively cheap roasts, techniques? I’d love to buy a nice grinder eventually, but it’s not in the budget right now. Any suggestions? I’m open to whatever.

Thank you!!!
