coffee should be brewed at 195F to 205F. My tea kettle has temperature settings on it. It goes from 140 to 212 for different brewing. Some tea needs to be in the lower range@007Sean in my opinion coffee made in a French press is fantastic. I use a hot pot to boil water, but I've discovered that it tastes less bitter if you let the water cool down a bit after it boils and before you pour over the grounds.
Also, sometimes there's extra coffee in the pot so we made ours a cozy for winter with an old sunshade
