Fresh water every time and never allow it to boil other than very briefly.

Water from different areas/bottles influences taste a great deal.

Teapot is the only way... just learn how much water and brewing time to use for your particular taste.

Hi Mike, it should be safe, the core/client does regular check points so little/less work is lost in the case of an unexpected termination.

When it restarts it should start from the last check point.
