My interpretation was that the coffee had already been brewed and them kept in the glass urn ready for dispensing at 195 to 200 degrees. Sorry about that.

The US-based National Coffee Association recommends coffee be made with water between 195-205F. Most places in the US seem to make coffee with lukewarm water (and tea, which is even worse that way). You need high temperatures to dissolve the oils and move the flavour into the pot and eventually to your cup. Terry: Actually, this is a coffee maker, not a coffee cup.

What temperature did you think coffee was brewed at? Optimum is between 195-205 (Gee, just like this urn maintains) http://www.coffeeresearch.org/coffee/brewing.htm Terry: Yeah, 200 degree coffee.
