I always, always burn the coffee with those things.

How? If you use the proper type of coffee and keep an eye on it you will never burn the coffee. Besides, if it's filled full capacity with water they will spill the coffee from boiling before burning it.

Use a timer.

Should be about 6 minutes on most stoves, though adjust for experience.

Turn off the heat when the spitting starts (or turn it low for another 30-60s).
