At home I used to use a pour-over filter/funnel with a vacuum bottle and pour in boiling water from a kettle. Now I use a small percolator, which also works by boiling the water. Makes a nice tasting brew, though you do tend to have a few stray grounds in the bottom of your cup.
Yes, news flash, coffee is made with hot near-boiling water. Probably not a good idea to try to drink it while driving. McDonald's uses standard restaurant style Bunn coffee makers and their coffee is/was no hotter than anyone elses using the same equipment. Despite what your views might be on their finished product, they do buy top tier ingredients and don't pinch pennies on equipment either. Their coffee for years was about on par with Folgers/Maxwell House, I actually think their new "premium roast" or whatever they are calling it now is quite good and certainly a better value than Starbucks.
