2. Try different types of coffee makers?

There's no Tim Horton nearby, but I think you're right about the temperature. Really hot cup ofd dark roast coffee tastes so much richer to my palate. I think the higher heat releases more of the aromatic oils that were developed in the roasting process.

I've never found a drip coffee maker that produced coffee as hot or full bodied as I prefer. I have used a French press which can deliver hot and flavorful coffee, but they are so labor intensive it just wasn't worth my time. Now the past year I've been using an old fashioned electric percolator, just like my mom had back in the 50s, and the coffee is great.
