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...

Vietnamese Iced Coffee: Tips to master precision

TL;DR: Trying to perfect making Vietnamese Iced Coffee at home. Looking for help with a precise recipe and deciding on the right sized phin filter.

Vietnamese Iced Coffee is great. It's simple, delicious, easy and extremely low cost of entry compared to specialty coffee when it comes to equipment.

Unfortunately, a lot of the instructions aren't very precise. It's not exactly specialty coffee so I understand the informal steps, since it seems like the amount of condensed milk is typically eyeballed and adjusted to taste, as well as "filling water to top of the phin".

My issue is – phin filters vary in size. I believe it is 4 oz traditionally, but I do see 8 oz and up to 24 ounce phin filters. The recipes aren't proportional either, since the capacity of the phin dictates the surface area of the filter, thus having an impact extraction rate.

I'm interested in a yield of 6 ounce, and possibly a recipe for an 8-12 ounce yield as well.

Currently I have Trung Nguyen Premium Blend for the coffee and Eagle Brand condensed milk. I am looking advice in deciding which size phin filter I should go with for my desired result.

I'm also looking for a recipe that would provide for a good, consistent taste that I'd get from buying at a traditional cafe. If the amount of condensed milk, grounds and water (for bloom AND brew separately) could be provided in Grams, I'd love that! Most of the instructions vary from teaspoons, grams, ounces and measuring by inches in the same article and it's difficult to follow along.

I'd love to purchase from this supplier. They have 4, 6, 8, 11 and 15 oz filters as options. Help me pick the best one! https://www.amazon.com/Vietnamese-Coffee-Filter-Gravity-Insert/dp/B01AK11S7C/ref=asc_df_B01AK11S7C/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=198107422705&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=18081760167342548011&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9005547&hvtargid=pla-350119612208&psc=1&region_id=674469
