The Thermistor idea would certainly work. However, like I said, my dad
works in computer controled temperature management. I plan on having
him burn me a custom sensor, like they do for all their jobs. This
would be free since it's my dad... ;-) I don't know if it would be
practical for someone without that resource to go with that road. You
should check out the Caffeine FAQ somewhere (anyone not forget the
link?) -- therein are the listings for the optimum coffee brewing temps.
