An old physics teacher of mine had this phrase "flash of the
blindingly
obvious" to describe things that, once you'd seen, you completely
understood, and couldn't work out why you'd never thought of them.

This is one of those...

Thanks.

I think this is the fundamental problem, while a percolator (no U
<G>)
may
make tea OK (you can even get instant tea, yuck!)) Tea left sitting just
doesn't taste nice.

However, what I would see working OK would be just using a coffee maker
without any beverage.

You might end up with a jug of water kept at 90 degrees (or whatever it
is
coffee is kept hot at) rather than "freshly boiled" but it would
probably
do or would be a lot quicker to re-heat?
