There’s a secret to a perfect cup of coffee. Yes, obviously good beans, water-coffee ratio and the ideal grind. Sure. But also the right temperature. Some people like it scalding hot. (How will you know you’re alive on a Monday if you’re not giving yourself third-degree burns to galvanize you after a weekend stupor?) Others prefer a pleasant, mellow steam. The National Coffee Association recommends a temperature of 90.5°C to 96°C for a perfect brew.
