So the McDonalds coffee was, what.. 180F? That's 85C to me. Which is 15 degrees beneath boiling point. If I go and make myself a cup right now using a kettle, it's going to come out hotter than the McPainCoffee. If I pour straight out of the kettle onto my knackers, I'll be off to hospital.
So I guess the question is, can we reasonably expect store-bought coffee to be cooler. And thus be reasonable in our surprise if it comes at the actual near-boiling state a home-made cup would be at. I would have thought, for a drive-in at least, the answer might be "yes". There's been a lot of talk of "common sense" here, surely that tells us that when selling coffee to people in moving vibrating machinery it's going to be cooler-than-optimum for safety purposes.

Just because tea should be brewed at a high third-degree-burns skin-scalding temperature doesn't mean that it has to be served at that temperature.

Actually the question is more like "can we reasonably expect that if we spill coffee on ourselves we will be burned but at least we won't look like (

...my sense of humour can take some getting used to :D
edit: now i've gone and taken page five from some other more constructive poster :(
