If you’re brewing from ground you really don’t want boiling 212F water as you’ll burn the grounds. I do my pour over at 185F and get smooth ready to drink hot coffee with no/low acidity.

If you (for some reason) want low-acidity coffee, it’s better to just get a darker roast (if you can stand the taste defects).

Ideal brewing temperature depends on a lot of factors but even ultralight roasts don’t require anything near boiling.
