 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.
