How do I know when the water temperature is right?Updated 7 months ago

While temperature is easy to determine with a thermometer, how can you tell without one? The easiest trick is the boil-and-wait method. Keep in mind these are just guidelines and not a guarantee.

  • 95°C - 90°C: Once your kettle has boiled, let sit for about 1-3 min with the lid open
  • 80°C - 85°C: Once your kettle has boiled, let sit for about 7-8 min with the lid open
  • 75°C: Once your kettle has boiled, let sit for about 10 min with the lid open
