[Electronics-talk] coffee makers

Wed Feb 5 19:26:04 UTC 2014

I tend to use highly ground coffee and, yes, there are slight grounds in the 
last cup.  But it is a very minor nuisance.  I do not use filters in the 
perculator basket.

Pardon me if I'm wrong. But don't the percolators leave ground some stuff in 
the bottom.
I've heard they do that?
Any clarification would be great.
