theres no prescription here. but i go for "hot as i can get it by boiling off the water i can get to rest on it by then microwaving it". for me thats a good tradeoff in time, effort, and energy/water waste. no clue if it really helps the brewing that much but it stands to reason that the ceramic does steal some heat if its room temp. i do it right before. brewing. i also freeze my cup, so the resulting coffee winds up being perfect drinking temp right away after its done brewing xD
Water that's boiling is 100 degrees C, as long as you're reasonably close to sea level. Boiling it longer doesn't make it hotter. If you want super critical water, you need to microwave it in a very smooth container. Please be warned that this is incredibly dangerous as s.c. water can cause horrific burns as it will boil and overflow when you try to pour it. It also doesn't make good coffee, it over extracts.
Speaking from experience? Have you actually managed to brew V60 cups with superheated water? I need to watch this youtube video.
