Good idea: Brewing was a good idea. Boiling water pretty much sterilizes pots, cookware, utensils, etc... In developed countries, where we are overly clean already, using boiling water isn't as needed from a health standpoint. In developing countries, it's a good idea to make sure one's coffee, tea, water, or soup actually reached the boiling point before cooling down to drinkable temperatures.
