As you probably already know, water boils at 212F (100C). This only applies when at sea level with an atmospheric pressure of 14.7psia. To raise the boiling point all you need to do is raise the pressure.
In a steam plant where steam is used to drive turbines, the water is pressurized by heating it in an enclosed system. As the water turns to steam, the steam has no where to escape and the pressure in the enclosed system begins to rise. As the pressure rises so does the boinling point. Some plants will raise the temperature to 500F which corresponds to a pressure of about 620psi.

What would heat up faster coke or water?
In a microwave oven, Coke would heat up faster than water because of the sugar and caramel coloring absorbing the microwave energy and turning it into heat, as opposed to water which lets more of the microwaves through without any interaction. On a conventional stove, gas or electric, both would heat at the same rate because of the same amount of heat being applied to both solutions.
