The Magical Fruit
The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.

Currently I love the James Hoffmann's 1 cup V60 using 15g/250ml ratio.
I generally don't like to overcomplicate things and keep it pretty simple. When not at home brewing just for myself my go-to method is 30g/500ml with ~50ml water 30s blooming (45s for Chemex) then pour the rest and gently swirl after a bit.
I've tried that one before, but for whatever reason its too damn strong for me haha.
You could try to lower the amount of coffee to something like 13-14g and see if that makes any difference.
