NOTE: We recommend using coffee that has been ground specifically for use in a percolator-typecoffee maker. However, coffee marked “For All Coffee Makers” 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.
