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...

How do you cup alone at home?

Hey all,

Recently gotten into home brewing, and last weekend I did my first little cupping experiment. I have a very basic grinder, Hario Skerton (yes I've already noticed grind is pretty inconsistent, will probably upgrade soon).

To learn about effect of diff. grind sizes, I made the same Sidamo ethiopian with 3 grind sizes. Each cup with 6g of freshly ground beans, 100ml boiling water on top. Wait about 4min, remove crust then wait another few minutes.

The test was super interesting, I could really feel how the finer grind gave a more bitter, astringent taste. And the coarser one had way more acidity!

I'd like to keep doing these tests, maybe with even more cups per test, but every time it's a lot of coffee to drink by myself (I'm quite sensitive to caffeine). Can I go lower than 6g per cup & still get good results? How do you guys go about it?

Any tips & experience is appreciated!
