With this thread and a few others thrown in, my early morning chuckles are guaranteed. There are almost as many perfect ways to brew coffee as there are models of RVs. Some enterprising Senior Member should organize an International Symposium on making the perfect cup of coffee. Of course there would have to be several of them held, one for percolators with and without the pump and basket, of course that would require it include with and without the use of electric pots, one for the TRUE(someone mentioned that sometime in the past) FRENCH PRESS, one with hand ground beans, one with electric ground beans, one on temperature...
I do have a serious question, however, who determined that 190 degrees is the perfect temperature for brewing coffee and what objective testing methodology was used?
