Old fashioned percolator coffee pot......makes the best coffee and since you are bringing the water to a boil in order to perk I would think it should be hot enough for you!~!!

A lot of the coffee makers are designed so that they brew at a lower temperature and then the brewed coffee is brought up to temperature by the hot plate under the coffee pot. I always figured that its because coffee is better if brewed at one temperature to reduce the extraction of acids ,foul tastes , etc and then served at a higher temperature that people prefer. If that's the kind you have , try brewing the coffee 15 minutes early so it has time to heat up while sitting on the hot plate bottom. It will get a lot hotter in just a short time.

Interesting, I've never heard of this before 
It doesn't make a lot of sense though. The ideal temp for drip brewing is around 200 degrees (to maximize the extraction of good stuff and minimize the bad), which is nearly too hot to drink already. Problem with the hot plate is that it's not able to heat the pot in a uniform manner and ends up scorching the bottom.

Bunn A-10 automatic
Not cheap at all but they last forever.(250-275)
Replaceable components.
(For the record I'm the dispatcher for the service/equipment dept. of a coffee company.)
195 degrees, full pot in about three minutes.
Had mine about a year.

I've read some good stuff about the Bunn. We didn't get one as you need to leave them on 24x7 and they are pretty ugly.
I'd wager they make nice coffee though
