I refuse to believe Americans can't produce a cup of 100 Degree celcius boiling water either at home or at work.

  Is there a point to the 100 degrees reference? its like saying a lightspeed flashlight

    Because the temperature of the water determines how well extraction occurs. Sub-100°C (for black tea) and you get a shitty tasting tea (I like to call it 'herb water'). * https://www.thespruceeats.com/how-to-brew-tea-water-temperatures-766316 https://www.thespruceeats.com/how-to-brew-tea-water-temperat... It's similar to coffee (93°C) * https://www.scaa.org/PDF/resources/golden-cup-standard.pdf https://www.scaa.org/PDF/resources/golden-cup-standard.pdf

  I'll admit I can't. (It boils at 95 C)

  It's not about "can't", it's about "this water is hot enough after microwaving it for 30s, it'll be fine".
