For those that use a camp style percolator on a stove top for their coffee, what do you do to keep the coffee grounds in the basket?
I've been using a percolator in the van life, but I've found that all store bought ground coffee is ground finely enough that it slips through the holes in the percolator basket and I end up chewing my coffee. To resolve this, I've been using paper filters inside the basket (I rip a small hole in the filter for the percolator tube thing), but it seems to me that this would be better solved by using a more coarse grind.
Just wondering what other people do. I've never ground my own coffee before and not sure if that would be easier than my current paper filters.
