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...

Anyone using a Kingrinder (K6/K4) with the Brikka (Induction)?

I recently got my Kingrinder K6 and updated my Brikka to the 4 cup induction version and I was wondering if anyone else uses this or a similar setup? I've been doing a lot of reading and found that recommendations are very different from the regular moka pot and after trying a number of different settings, but I'm not completely happy yet. My current setup is:

120ml cold water
25g of coffee beans (medium roast)
Grind size set to around 115 clicks
800 watt on the induction hob

It takes around 2-2.5 minutes and I get 80-90g of coffee out with a bit of crema. If I go finer (like for a regular moka pot, for which Kingrinder recommends 60-90 clicks), I often get channeling. I don't do any tamping and have also tried using a coffee leveler. I will probably start using a bit more coffee (it's usually not filled to the top with 25g, depending on the bean it probably needs ~10% more) and I could go even coarser and also use a WDT and an aeropress paper filter, but maybe others can report their settings to compare and I can save some beans from going to waste?

With darker roasts, I got what I think was a perfect extraction and a good amount of crema with very similar setting (but a good bit finer, maybe 100 clicks). That's not my preferred style of coffee, though, and I refuse to accept that I can't dial this in perfectly. (:
