Is the coffee which is designed to go into cafetieres more coarse than the coffee designed for drip machines?

from here

A coarse grind is needed when brewing in a percolator. A medium grind is the most popular grind, and is used by most people who grind coffee at home. A medium grind is used for the electric drip and French press* methods of brewing coffee. Most home coffeemakers are electric drip coffeemakers with flat baskets.

A fine grind is used for the vacuum and Neapolitan flip methods and in machines with cone-shaped filters. Water does not have much time to mix with coffee in a cone shaped filter, so the coffee used in these filters needs to be ground finely. This way, the water comes into contact with the maximum amount of flavor constituents. A very fine grind is only used for making espresso.

*cafetiere

so that suggests medium grind for either

Thought it was the same but no doubt some afficionado/barista/**** will be on soon to tell you
I’m wrong..

Coarsest grind = cafetiere, then filter, then espresso. You can use filter for either but you’ll get more crap in your cup if you use it in a cafetiere.
