What germs or bacteria could survive boiling hot water?

Some bacteria love boiling water as a breeding environment. They're not the sort of thing that you'd be expecting to find in a small-town independent coffee shop unless Dora had been immersing her equipment in geothermal pools at Yellowstone.
No, it isn't the stuff in the pot that's the problem. It's the stuff that bred in the mess on the outside, didn't get boiled and gets transferred over when you're pouring into the customer's cup.

And THAT is why I don't like coffee shop coffee. You have no idea how well maintained the equipment is.

Meh, my experience is that the vast majority of coffee shops take good care of their equipment, including cleaning. If anything because it increases the life span of the equipment.
Frankly I am more worried about the coffee-making instruments in my own apartment :mrgreen:

Thank you for giving me yet another reason to never drink coffee. (Yes, I'm one of those people.)
I like the smell in small doses, but the taste is nasty. I don't like bitter flavors, and never have. I've trained myself to like broccoli, and the occasional raw brussel sprout (cooked activates my texture phobia), but that's about it.

I'm aware of bacteria that can survive boiling water, even for extended periods of time, but as a living environment where they can actually thrive? I'd be thankful for a citation or an example of a bacteria species. Bacteria usually survive harsh conditions by forming spores, I'd be suprised (though not shocked) to find one that can actually conduct metabollic processes "business as usual" style in 100 degrees C.
