It depends on the grinder. Even set at coarse, you will get some very fine
"dust" that the filter will not trap. These are usually referred to as
"fines." After plunging the press pot, I let it sit for a moment before
pouring and this helps reduce them.

BTW, these are coffee fiber and are so fine that you won;t feel har dbits,
just a fine grittiness.

Keep in mind, that if you let the grounds get above the filter, these will
end up in your cup. Use the top band of the press as an indicator and
don't get anything above it. That way the filtering system should push
anything downward.
