Water needs some little bit of something for the water vapor bubbles to
form on. If the water is really clean, and the cup too, you can heat water
to a couple of degrees over 212F because there are no little bits. Then
when you add the coffee, it boils a little. Solutions:

Spinkle a couple of particles of instant in the water before you heat it.

Don't heat it quite so much.

Don't use instant coffee. ;-)

Don't wash the mug. ;-)

(Actually, it's a Republican plot, Harry ;-) ;-)


Ahh, it's a plot!

You know, I've told my wife over and over that my coffee cup isn't
"that" dirty, and I can reuse it...but noooooooooo....she insists I
scrub it out once in a while, to shake loose the penicillin growing inside.

Thanks, Chuck.

You know, I have varied the heat time...but I'll try dropping in a
couple of grains of coffee before I heat up the water. Instant really is
my only choice. My wife doesn't drink coffee, and I only want a cupful.
Cleaning up a one or two cup percolator isn't something I want to do.
