Glass thimble with glass frit

Hi.
I have a glass thimble that goes in an extraction device, its 200mm hi x 35mm wide..it has a glass frit thats labeled EC, which I take to stand for extra course.

Wouldnt ground pepper clog that frit, is that cellulose thimbles are for? Seems foolish having to use one inside of another, but if it clogs, it clogs. If didnt have to use a cellulose thimble it would hold way more pepper than it would if I had to use a thimble within it....

any say on this?

heh. my gregar came in, too!
