100g per liter, whole bean, mineral water (Ashbeck or waitrose essential) steep in a cafetiere to taste.
This makes a concentrated brew.

If you want one to be light enough to drink straight away, use 50g per liter.

That's the easiest way, the best cheap brewer is the Iwaki cold dripper. Fool proof, makes 500ml at a time.

180 was deffo too much then. Whole bean not ground?
Is that because it's not necessary because it's soaking?
I'm thinking of comparison with how you toast chilies, then soak and then puree.

You want it very coarsely ground, similar size to cafetière / French press.

Just easier to deal with whole bean. If you grind the surface area increases dramatically and so you must reduce the steep time.
