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...

[Pourover] What is your strategy for beans that stall a lot?

So I bought these lovely Ethopian beans from a good roaster nearby. I mostly use a V60. As many Ethiopian beans tend to do, the beans stall quite a bit. I assume that there are a lot of fines or a lot more than usual. For a grind setting that gives me approx. 2:30 brews for 250ml the brews take 3:30-4. It's the beans not the grinder, as I don't have this issue with other beans, unless I excessively agitate and I haven't had clogging issues with my Ode + SSP. Now, what do I do? When grinding where I usually do or slightly coarser it tastes fine (some sips quite nice actually) but I feel like there's something that mutes flavour. That makes sense because of the fines. Grinding substantially coarser doesn't really make sense I guess. It doesn't significantly decrease brew time (the long brew times come from stalling and not from a grind that is too fine, so grinding coarser hasn't really decreased brew times) and it makes it taste worse, because the non-fines are too coarse. Actually, those brews tasted the best so far that were at more or less the same grind setting as other beans I've used.

What I haven't gotten to try yet is use a recipe with little to no agitation or maybe a recipe that doesn't fill up the cone as much (more water in the cone that presses down increases fine migration afaik and therefore potential clogging). Would that work, what do you think? Do you have other strategies you use?

Thanks
