Coffee makers. Who has One?

Black tea is generally water right off the boil, and coffee is usually recommended to use water that’s a bit under the boiling point, something like 194F (versus the 212F) - aficionados say boiling water scorches the grounds.

We have one of those fancy kettles where you can set how hot you want the water, we heat it to 90C for coffee.
 
My kettle has this: (Of course when it stops and the thing beeps it's right off the boil.)

Oooo....Oolong! What is French press? What is white? Delicate what? And why is green tea lower temperature? Its most puzzling. :scratchhead:

French press is one of these. You put the coffee grounds in there, pour in the water, let it sit about 5 minutes then press the screen thing down to get the grounds at the bottom and pour out your coffee.

White tea and green tea is lower so the heat doesn't break down the goodies in the tea leaves. They're not as mature as black tea and are more fragile. Never used delicate, probably for flower type teas.

Thank you. Is that kettle of Asian origin? There is nothing like that here that I have seen.
