Interestingly, I've read an article that explains why it's easy to make a great cup of coffee in Denver. The boiling point of water in Denver is 202, so you can add coffee to boiling water and it's right at the right temp (something that would be a big no-no at sea level).

- jamessb 11y agoI don't know the article, but there are many sources for the individual claims, e.g.: * Denver is at 5,130–5,690 ft (1,564–1,731 m) [0] * The boiling point of water at this altitude is between 201 and 203 °F; at sea level it is 212 °F [1] * "Your brewer should maintain a water temperature between 195 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal extraction. Colder water will result in flat, under-extracted coffee, while water that is too hot will also cause a loss of quality in the taste of the coffee."
