I find that pouring boiling water into coffee grounds makes a bitter brew. Instead I pour boiling water into a metal container, which is enough to drop it a couple degrees, and then mix grounds into it.

I'm lucky to live at altitude, so the boiling point is already ~200F making coffee made with boiling water taste great.

I have to give it a minute when I visit the folks though.

Same here, I plunge a thermometer in the kettle and stop it as soon as it reaches 94-95°C
