Amazing how others who are not in my kitchen presume to tell me what I
can and can't do and/or what I HAVE or have not done.

I bring the water to a boil. I let it stop boiling. I then nuke
immediately it at max pwr for 30 secs. Voilą! Superheated water.
Yes, it's unstable. Yes, it boils up (nucleation) when I pour over
grounds, but not so bad I can't handle it. I could make a video, but
quite frankly I don't care if you believe me or not.
