It came, it brewed, it is boxed up to go back.
We tried the Cuisinart DCC-1200, and while it is hotter, it isn't hot enough. Back to Amazon it goes.
Not sure what are next attempt will be. SWMBO has a dislike for french presses - too much cleaning.

We may go back to a percolator, probably where our hankering for hot hot coffee came from, but we'll avoid the Faberware ones as they start to fail after ~18 months, they start to make weak coffee which I assume is because the thermostat cuts out to soon, there is not many other parts in there.

Meanwhile we'll continue to nuke our coffee after brewing it.
