Just use an ordinary drip coffee pot with a paper filter. There is no
such thing as coffee that has been ground too fine. I use the finest
grind (turkish) for my every day coffee. You may have to reduce the
amount of coffee grounds per brewed cup to get it to your taste, but
that's easy enough to do.
