PERFECTION IS A MATTER OF EXECUTION.

• FOR PERKERS. Go coarse, that's how percolators like it.  Larry describes "coarse' as the size of red pepper flakes found on the table at pizza restaurants. (Larry recomends John's Pizza at 278 Bleecker St, NYC...)
• FOR PRESS POT AFICIONADOS. Go coarse, but not as coarse as percolators. Your grind should be a wee bit smaller than the red pepper flakes at pizza restaurants.
• FOR (flat-filtered) DRIP METHOD FOLKS. Use a fairly fine grind, like large sand granules on the Jersey shore.
• FOR (cone-filtered) DRIP METHOD FOLKS. Fine grind -- finer than for flat filter. A fine as sand at a fancy Caribbean beach.

FOR BRAVE COWBOY METHOD INDIVIDUALISTS Fairly fine. Between New Jersey sand and Caribbean sand. If you don't know how to make Cowboy Method coffee, order a copy of our "Coffee is like kissing" brew guide for only 75 cents!
