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...

Tried James Hoffman’s French press method but got super murky coffee.

Hi! I recently got off the plastic pods side of coffee, and today was my first time making a cup from actual beans. I followed James hoffman’s guide to making coffee with a French press pretty closely. I had medium roast while beans that were supposedly roasted recently, which I ground with the Hario Skerton Pro (manual burr grinder) to a medium coarseness (I just googled medium coarse coffee and tried to match my grind size to what I saw on google). James recommends 30 g coffee per 500 g water, so I did 15 grams for 250 grams of water. This seemed like a lot of grounds for 1 cup, but I pushed through. I followed the rest of his recipe pretty exactly, but my cup didn’t really look like his. In the video, his cup is significantly lighter and bright, while mine was super dark and fairly bitter. Any advice on what could have went wrong would be appreciated.
