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...

should I get a really cheap hand grinder when I have arthritis, or continue to get pre ground?

Started to make coffee at home to save some money as I'm in a tighter spot at the moment, and I didn't have a coffee maker, so I got a French press from Ikea (I think it was around 10-15$?) it makes pretty good coffee, though, I've noticed sometimes the finer grounds come through in to the cup. I don't notice them texture wise, so it doesn't bother me.

One thing I've noticed however when I was learning to use it, was that EVERYONE says to NOT use pre ground coffee and to use beans instead because it is fresher and whatnot. Seems fair, but I want to know how much of a difference it is, as the only grinders in my price range are hand grinders, but I've got arthritis and my other grinder is enough of a problem. I'd get one of the similarly cheap electric grinders, but I've also heard they ruin beans and Arnt worth it?

I guess what I'm wondering, would it still be worth it to get a 10$ hand grinder and suffer the pain each morning to grind it, or to just keep either getting pre ground or having it ground at the store? I've been happy enough with what I'm getting with pre ground coffee (Balzac's in this case) but if it's a massive difference I might just get one. Otherwise I'll likely wait till I'm working again and save up for an electric grinder. Also, if anyone knows of cheaper coffee grinders thst are good for people with arthritis let me know!
