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...

Is It Placebo, or Am I Just Ludicrously Discerning? (Brewed Coffee Freshness)

So I've started making as little coffee per filter as possible because literally thirty minutes after I make a pot, the coffee tastes bad. If I leave the hot plate on and there's not a lot of coffee in the carafe, it'll be burnt; if the hot plate is off, then the coffee just seems to lose all of its flavor.

Now here's the confounding factor: I do have to put the coffee in the microwave to reheat it. If I do this to the coffee in my mug that I poured fresh, it will usually still taste decent unless either 1) I reheat it too long or too many times (twice seems to be the maximum) or 2) I let the coffee get ice cold and sit for maybe forty-five minutes.

If I reheat a mug of coffee poured from a 30-minute to one-hour old pot, it will almost invariably taste flavorless and/or horrible.

Is this a placebo effect you think, where I'm assuming the coffee is going to be bad because it was brewed during the Jurassic era, or does coffee go "flat" that quickly?

Thanks for any input!
