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...

PSA: You can make a pretty good zero bypass brew with an AeroPress chamber.

My local coffee shop has a zero bypass brewer and I'd been liking the way their pour overs turn out with it. I thought about ordering one but figured I'd just test zero bypass with my AeroPress and it actually works quite well.

The Recipe I've been using is fairly basic:

Load 2 filters and rinse the filters/chamber.

18 grams light roast, typical pour over grind.

350g of boiling water. It won't quite fit it all in one pour but if you bloom 50g around 45 seconds it should all go right up to the lip.

Draw down takes around 4 minutes. When it stops dripping you can insert the plunger and push down an inch or so to push the remaining water out of the cake.

I'm surprised how well it works. I have the same beans the coffee shop uses and there's virtually no difference between the AeroPress and their zero bypass brewer.

I haven't tried a single filter brew yet but I imagine the draw down will be to quick and produce a weaker cup.
