The only way I know of to lower the boiling point is to reduce
pressure. At high altitudes, water boils at significantly lower than
212 degrees F. That's one of the reasons why the coffee you get on an
airplane usually sucks. The cabin's pressurized; but not to a full
atmosphere, and the water for the coffee won't get hot enough to make a
good cup.


Then they should probably use instant.
Probably cheaper too.
