Huh, I might try this. The previous time I bought drip grind and used an automatic drip maker. They don’t seem to specify the grind anymore. I suppose I could buy whole beans and grind them myself, but that would seem to be a bit contrary to the spirit of this discussion.

I was a perc user for years - coarse ground Tim Hortons coffee in an automatic percolator I bought at a goodwill.

That said, the best coffee I've had is always with friends.
