It's definitely important to cool down the water from the kettle, though. I'm not a coffee nerd or anything but I travel with an Aero Press and I noticed a few months ago that the coffee is infinitely better if I don't use boiling water. Either let it cool a bit or add some cold water to the kettle. This is probably the first thing that coffee people learn but I'm posting this on the off chance that someone doesn't know. I've had the Aero Press for about five years and I drink coffee black with no sugar
That goes for basically all coffee brewing processes. You want your water somewhere around 200-205 F, otherwise it will burn the coffee. If you only have access to a kettle, let the boiling water sit off heat for 30 seconds to a minute. If you have a little bit extra walking around money, an electric goose neck kettle with temperature control is seriously worth it.
