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...

My six(?)-year-old Baratza Encore stopped working consistently last week. I'd noticed the grinding sounded different the last few weeks – lower-pitched and slower – and finally it just crapped out. All the usual tricks wouldn't bring it back to life.

I spent 30 minutes troubleshooting, according to Baratza's excellent support articles, and determined it was a bad motor. $60 (new motor, new silicone gasket, shipping) and five days + 20 minutes of disassembly/reassembly later, and she's purring along as good as new.

It is so, so nice to deal with a company who gives you all the tools to repair your gear, rather than just hoping you'll toss it and replace it. Though I guess I'm a little sad I didn't get to "justify" an upgrade to a Virtuoso…
