I've read the posts regarding the steps you take to grout a floor, but none deal with the actual activity.

My question is simple. You're filling in the space between the bevelled tiles. There is some debate around how high the grout should be. I'm being told that the grout should not be as high as the tile, whereas I believe the grout should be as high (flush) as the tile. My reasoning is that by being flush with the tile, dirt and water cannot accumulate between the tiles, which is important if you are living in a hot and humid area.

Can anyone tell me what is the right way to do this? Thanks.
 
Keep the grout level with the top edge of the tile - this prevents spillages from seeping into the edge of the tile where its almost impossible to remove.
