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...

[Aeropress] Is grinding coarser and steeping longer the safest way to a great cup?

My Aeropress recipe used to be pretty much what James Hoffmann showed in his series: Grind pretty fine (in terms of medium); couple of clicks finer than a 1-cup V60 is what I'd usually do. Steep for about 2 mins, swirl, wait 30sec, press. Pretty tasty.

I've read here and there (e.g. Jonathan Gagné) that steeping for much longer can lead to really good results. Now I was wondering if it makes sense to grind coarser for such a recipe than for a "standard" recipe. Because 4 minutes plus steep the coffee is already pretty nicely extracted (as it would be in a French Press) and then grinding finely for the press doesn't really make sense or does it? I'd guess it only makes channeling more likely.

Do you agree? Does it make sense to grind coarsely (like a normal medium filter grind or so) for a long-steep method?

Thanks
