My Zojirushi (which I love) keeps 95c, and I always decant into my plunger, then into the aeropress just to lower the temps. That is partially out of convenience, though, because I can't fit the loaded aeropress and the cup under the spout. Tatung is the biggest brand in Taiwan, which explains the price difference between that and the Japanese brands. Their rice cookers are built like tanks, so I would trust this water pot, too. Go for it!
