Below the percolation threshold (above the Curie point for magnets), clusters of only finite size exist: the coffee does not dip through, and the chunk of iron is only "paramagnetic". But above the percolation threshold (below the Curie point), infinite clusters are common, with well-known consequences, depending on the application: a forest fire will spread to the other end of the forest ... and iron ... [will become] a ferromagnet.
