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 there any way to salvage light roast coffee with a crappy drip machine?

I'm living abroad for a few months, and all I have here is a cheap automatic drip machine – I have a nicer one at home, but I can't stand pourovers/etc and so I'm using this for now. It actually makes decent coffee out of what I usually buy, which is slightly cheaper medium-dark roasts. However, this time I bought a bag of lightly roasted Ethiopian beans, and it tastes… awful. Just really bland and watery.

A quick google says that light roasts often need hotter water and finer grind (neither of which I can achieve). Actually, I think the beans might be an issue too – they were harder to grind than any coffee I've gotten before, such that I had to stop partway through because my motor grinder was getting too hot.

Is there anything else I can change (just higher coffee concentration maybe?) with the limited equipment I have, or just accept that it won't taste too good?
