Coffee to water ratio

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...

Coffee to water ratio

So I see online that there seems to be an agreed ratio range between 50 and 60 grams of coffee grounds per liter of water recommended for brewing.

I've been brewing using a Bodum pour over set for a while now and just using the mesh filter it comes with as I find the paper filter seems to not taste as good and I don't mind a little silt in my coffe.

Until recently, I'd been using a LOT less grounds for this method, and imo getting way better coffee. Closer to a ratio of 30g per liter of water, maybe even 25g.

It seems to me that when I use the, "Correct," ratio I get bitter crap and when I use half that amount I get coffee that actually tastes like something. When I use the smaller amount I seem to get a lot more of the coffee oils – like I can see a foam on top and a clear layer of oil on top of the brewed coffee.

What am I doing wrong? Do I just suck? Are my tastebuds broken? I don't get it.

Please advise!
