A fluid ounce of water weighs 1oz. Thus if you have kitchen scales put your container on it ( I would choose an insulating container such as polystyrene ) and zero the scales. Then slowly pour in water until you have 34 oz (if the scales are metric just do the conversion).
Now put the container in the microwave and start heating it (on high) for periods of maybe 2 minutes. The steps allow convection to circulate the water to achieve even temperature. Carefully observe. As the water gets hotter you can reduce this interval. When the water just starts to boil you are at boiling point (212F). In this way you will avoid superheating the water. Superheating and microwave ovens[^]
Whatever you need the water for it is unlikely to still be at 212F when you actually use it. This is the real world remember.
All the above applies to pure water at sea level.
Impurities in the water will raise the boiling point (tap water ain't pure) and rising above sea level will lower the boiling point.

Are you trying to estimate how much you will lose to evaporation?  We can't help with that.

Basically yes.
I start with "X" times 34 ounces, and remove the bowl from the microwave with exactly 34 ounces.
Well, that's what I want to do.
My first total guess left me about 3 or 4 ounces short.

No.
Put 40 oz of water in the microwave and set the machine on High. When it boils, remove the container and pour off 34 ounces. Add 1 packet of lime Jello and 8 oz of tequila; refrigerate and consume according to your personal compression ratio. After that, you're on your own, and probably having a much better time than I am on this Saturday night.

Smirk.
  
That was basically my approach, probably not the exact numbers.
Anyway, I got close but not perfect.

If you use an Android phone or iPhone, which one is it?
(No need to reply if you don't use one of these.)

Android (Moto G)
Why?
Partly I have an Android tablet and it's nice to be compatible, partly because I pay for them with my own money and don't like paying Apple's massive markups.

Two android phones, and two android tablets.
I had an ipad 3 as my first tablet, but gave it to the missus ten minutes after trying out an android one, and seeing how much more useful android is.
Unfortunately, I nowadays mostly use a PoS windows tablet, because windows has all the (third-party) tools I need. I hate the bloated, buggy, unreliable, unpredictable win 10 OS, though. It's got higher specs than my newest android tab, but it's slow, laggy, and ridiculously wasteful of power.
If all the lacking tools (and functionality, where ipads are concerned) were available on android or ios tabs, I'd dump the windows one in a second.

I have a Blackberry Passport that runs Android apps... does that count?
I love it, by the way.
