It involves a bit of juggling: I boil water in the little pot my stove lives in, then I pour the water in to the mug, wait till the coloured indicator is at 85, then pour it back in to the pot, whack the aero press/pour over cone on my mug and then pour. The main thing is that I have something that can tell me what water temp is when I’m camping.
Edit: did you mean literally how does the thermometer work? Yeah magnets. Or midichlorians.

This feels like a bit of a hack. I’m kind of semi-fussy about coffee (within reasonably sensible parameters) and getting the water at more or less the right temperature is something that does make a difference. I’ve got a kettle that does it for me at home, but for camping I whacked this little sticker on my mug. Now I can just chuck the water into it and wait till it’s the right temperature rather that guessing. I did consider putting the sticker on the thing I actually boil the water in, but I figured it’s going to get burnt off.
