And, voila! You can buy a $10 dripper or a $1000 dripper but if the water temp is off a few too many degrees the coffee will never be good. It is practically impossible to miss correct brewing temp with a press and THAT is a huge difference in the cup.

Boil (just barely) the water - remove from heat - count 15-hippopotamus - pour/stir. Perfect coffee in 4-minutes.
