NOTE: We recommend using coffee that has been ground
specifically for use in a percolator-type coffeemaker. However,
coffee marked "For All Coffeemakers" is acceptable. If using a
coffee grinder and whole beans, percolator coffee should be a
coarse grind. A finely ground coffee may cause the coffee basket
to overflow and result in grounds in coffee.
