The optimal brewing temperature is between 88°C and 96°C, depending on the preparation method.
Filtering methods (hand filters, filter machines, Bodum pot, Karlovy Vary pot, ect.) require 92-96°C. For espresso machines (semi-automatic and fully automatic), the optimum temperature is between 88-94°C (depending on the type of coffee!) You should remove a mocha pot (Bialetti, Alessi, or similar) from the stove as soon as the coffee is ready and not allow it to continue boiling on the plate. If the brewing temperature is lower, many of the more than 1,000 different aromas cannot fully develop and the coffee tastes too light. If the water is still boiling, many aromatic substances burn off and the coffee becomes too strong and bitter.
