Years ago I was into those flavored instant coffee powders for a while. I nuked some water in the microwave, took out the cup and started to pour in powder. Boom, the thing exploded all over me.
What amazed me was, when repeating the experiment (hey, I'm a geek!), I realized how lucky I was not to have set the water off when I picked the cup up. Must not have jarred it in the right way.

Out of curiosity, what was your internal calculation for the amount of time to microwave the water vis-a-viz the volume of water and the relative power (efficiency) of the microwave?
Did you overshoot this time by a wide margin and therefore overheat? Or you really needed scolding hot water? Or was something "new" at this point (microwave, cup, amount of water, desired heat)?

No solid experimental number for you, but it was something along these lines...
- Glass bowl; extremely plain (jibes with the scientists here)
- Volume if full: one pint
- Quantity in bowl: 11 or 12 ounces
- First heating: 6 minutes
- Ooops distracted time: 8 minutes
- Reheat setting: 5 minutes
- Explosion momment: 3 or 4 minutes
All times and quantities are complete and utter guesses with zero accuracy; fifty percent margin of error would not surprise me.
Oh, the initial 6 minute thing is what I normally use. It's a big microwave; a thousand watts or so, built in above the regular stove, so that number is probably correct.

wow, so I usually make my coffee in 90 seconds, about 10 oz.
Not too hot.
2 minutes would be HOT.
3 minutes would be near boiling for sure, in a similar microwave.
I found this:
Time to bring to boil 3 cups of room temperature water in a microwave, by watts:
1000 watts: 5 min 57 sec
so, that is 3 cups, you had maybe 2 cups (2 minutes less time) Jives with my experience.
(back of the envelope, right).
So, you clearly boiled it the first time.
then it started out hot, and 8 minutes... you super boiled it.
Yep. You over boiled the water. Clearly.
During this time, you did not open the microwave and touch it to see if it was good enough?
(I would assume not).
You have the personality of a programmer (clearly distractable for many minutes, and a touch of OCD in giving the details!) LOL

Just to clarify; yes, the water almost always boils in 6 minutes; I think it starts around 4 or 5.
An expert who was involved in the design of microwaves told me that the physical size of the device was the second most important factor in actual heating.
i.e., a lower powered device can produce superior heating if the internal volume is sufficiently small.
That's what the expert told me.

I would suggest something more modest, like Frank, Rodney or Alfonso.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
