I add water from my HX to the lower pot, put it over the heat source, wait until it's at a rolling boil, then put the top pot on. I've never had the roof blown off yet. I wait 'til the water is almost all in the top chamber to add the coffee & stir it a few times.
I don't see a safety issue?
Edit on your post was inadvertent, not intentional. I apologize. I wasn't aware of it until you kindly pointed it out.
As Jason attests (and I can confirm), if a novice took your directions literally, using a Cory rod, that water will indeed roll over the top and spit at whomever is near it at the rolling boil you posted. Suggest you measure that temp that you are describing as a "rolling boil" that doesn't spill over the sides of the dome.
Note to others: From a safety perspective, buy a thermometer, put the dome in at 198*. I would encourage you not to put the dome on at a rolling boil as Tex suggests. If you feel his approach is worth a try, use a thermometer and on each successive pot, use water that is one degree hotter. Find out for yourself at what temp life becomes interesting.
