Following the suggestion of Nick Cho over at www.coffeed.com I decided to try brewing some Nicaragua La Esperanza CoE I bought from Fresh Coffee (freshcoffeentea.no-ip.info with 4 grams less coffee than I normally use. In this case, I used 13 grams of finely ground coffee (using Hario Mini Mill grinder) and 200ml of 85 degree Celsius water.
