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...

Thoughts on supermarket single origin coffee

Ever since I started enjoying quality coffee, I am reading the labels on coffee bags much more carefully, and I only now realised that in better supermarkets, you can actually buy something resembling speciality! Sure, shelves are usually dominated by cheap, pre-ground blends. But I can often also find of bags of fairtrade, whole bean, single origin, lightly roasted coffees from somwhere else than Brazil ([like this, for example](https://www.locallybest.co.uk/product/co-op-irresistible-single-origin-kenya-fairtrade-coffee-beans-227g/)).

Now, I understand they are not quite to standard set by reputable rosters. No date of roasting, suspiciously low price, and "kenyan" or "columbian" can hardly be called single origin. Still, I am sometimes tempted to try it, expecially if I have just run out of beans. And lower price is also a tempting factor, especially in this day and age.

Do you have any experience with such "not-speciality-but-trying" coffees? Are they genuinely trying to offer high(er) quality that usually (not always!) comes with single origin label, or is it just a marketing trick to sell average coffee to more demanding customers?
