Aeropress experts please offer up advice if you can.

I have been using my Aeropress for two days now and while I absolutely agree that it makes a silky smooth, rich cup of coffee I can't seem to make a cup that's hot enough for my liking.

I am bringing water to a boil and then waiting about 30 seconds before adding to the coffee.

I am pre-warming my mug with hot tap water

I like an Americano in the mornings so I am microwaving my milk until it is slightly too hot to drink.

But.....by the time the process is complete my coffee is merely luke warm.

Suggestions??

Thanks.
