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.
