I am currently using 40g coffee to 500g water which is 12.5g coffee to 1g water but I have seen things like this https://www.olympiacoffee.com/blogs/blog/how-to-brew-like-olympia-coffee#:~:text=For%20those%20of%20you%20who,use%2016.7%20grams%20of%20water. which suggest using a little more. Does it even matter to adjust the ratio precisely if I don't have a precision grinder and am using a Krups blade grinder? I am trying to get things as precise as possible.

Well yes I very much know I need to upgrade, but to what? I am usually making cups for 1 to 2 people so 500-1000ml. Actually nvm, I am using a Fellow kettle so it only holds 900ml

Ok, those are big cups. I usually made around 250 to 300ml of coffee. Timemore and 1zpresso have big grinders now, you may want one of those. I bought a C2 a few years ago and even though I have a good electric grinder, the Timemore is miles better and because it doesn't make almost any noise, I can make coffee early in the morning.
In my case, I am the only one at home that drinks coffee so I rarely need more than 25g.

thanks for the rec yeah I like it strong but maybe I should just be brewing less coffee

It depends. I bought a good but not really fast hand grinder (commandante c40) and despite myself being lazy I really like it for single person pour overs, which I do most of the time since my SO doesn't drink coffee. However, when I have guests and need to grind a bigger dose (>30g), I get a little bit annoyed at how much work it is. So I'd probably recommend getting an electric grinder if you do those portions all the time.

My uncle thought his Hario Skerton Pro and siphon setup was elite, I just thought it took ages.
