Hopefully, since they also refer to "1800" and "1850" as temperatures. I believe 1800°F is enough to melt silver or brass, and 1800°C will melt iron. I assume their degree symbol turned into a zero at some point.

Your brewer should maintain a water temperature between 195 - 205 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal extraction.
Thats 93.3 C. I'd call that near-boiling. That is the optimum temperature for brewing coffee (and tea as well, pretty much.)
The issue would seem to be if McD should provide sub-optimum tasting coffee to improve saftey at a drive-through where the risk of spillage is higher (Or spill resistant cups or something.) Health and saftey laws tend to beat quality of merchandise legally.

She, as many people do, held the coffee between her legs as she left the drive through. The coffee spilled.
Mere common sense says that anybody who holds his or her hot coffee between legs just asks for it to spill all over them. It's just stupid behavior, no matter whether that coffee is few degs above the recommended temperature or not. Actually drive-ins are a stupid thing to begin with, for people who are lazy enough to get their asses out of the car, go to snack bar, sit behind a table and eat like cultured people.
Most of these Only-in-America lawsuits are ridiculous to the point of nonsense but hey, simple people can win big money on courts and likewise lawyers must feed their families winning such lawsuits for them.

To see someone defend his right for lukewarm coffee so vehemently amuses me no end. :)

EVERY FUCKING RESPECTED LEGAL SCHOLAR THAT HAS COMMENTED ON IT AGREES WITH THE CASE.
So everyone that agrees with you is respectable. People who do not are retarded. I cannot see how you do not understand my point, I REALIZE the legal system worked in her favor, I realize she won, I don't care who agrees with it, she was stupid reguardless of ANYTHING else. She could've very well prevented it all from ever happening. Saying it is McDonalds fault may settle for you, but they handed her safely a cup of hot coffee. She then "Stupidly" tried to drive whilst warming herself. She then for some reason decides to go on a bump, or crash into something and manages to spill the hot coffee all over her groin causing it to burn. Go anywhere but McDonalds or Starbucks, buy a cup of coffee, spill it on your groin, see what happens. YOU GET BURNED! All I said is she was stupid. Nothing else that should insult the legal system, Important people with paper, or YOU.

I realize who i'm talking to, but there is nothing incorrect about saying the lady was kind of idiotic.
