Hi Katarina, I was told by the owner of Sota Instruments, maker of the Silver Pulser (and an associate of Bob Beck), that boiling the water is important to make good quality CS.
Marshall has just informed me that hot water causes larger particle size. I am going to play it safe for now and use cold water. You can buy a "glass" pot made of Corning Ware at stores that carry a large variety of pot and pans. It is actually not glass but an alloy of glass and many metals. It looks and feels just like glass (transparent brown). Corning say that you can run it under cold water when it is extremely hot and it will not crack. I use a Pyrex pot (by Corning). Not near as heat resistant buy so far it has not cracked.
