Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius,

We use the present simple to talk about facts and general truths. "Water" is an uncountable noun, so we treat it as a singular subject and add "-s" to the verb.

but my coffee gets cold in exactly five minutes.

"My coffee" is a singular subject (it), so the verb "get" becomes "gets".

The Earth goes around the Sun, while my dog runs around the kitchen table.

"The Earth" is a singular subject. For verbs ending in -o (like "go" or "do"), we add "-es" for the third-person singular form.
