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 very first steps…

Hello, fellas !

A couple of weeks ago, during a sleepless night with my 4 month-old daughter, I watched a YouTube video made by James Hoffmann. The dude seemed nice and his video, at this time of the night, felt like ASMR. I enjoyed it and watched more. Many more.

I don't really know why but what he did seemed fun. So, a couple of days later, I bought an Aeropress online and some Yirgacheffe from my local coffee shop, following their advice.

I then tried to make some coffee with all that, following the "ultimate Aeropress technique" from Hoffmann (11g of coffee for 200g of water), but I have a problem : I don't even know what Yirgacheffe coffee is supposed to taste/feel like…

What I get at the end of my process is a really "tea-like" coffee : very light and as if I put some sugar in it even if I did not.

Don't get me wrong : I was very satisfied with my result. I enjoyed it a lot. But is this what I am supposed to get at the end of the day or am I incapable of making a good coffee ?

FYI : I usually drink filter coffee from the supermarket and/or Nespresso pods.

Thank you very much for your time,

Love you all,

Even tough you're probably going to ruin me because a grinder and a better scale now seems required…
