Heat absolutely does kill bacteria. Heating water for just a few minutes at 60C will kill e. coli, 70C will kill it instantly. Coffee is brewed at 90-100C.

Yeah, but not "magically".

Airplanes are not pressurized to sea level though, water boils at lower temperatures at altitude.

On airplanes, pressure is equivalent to about 2000m ASL, at which water boils at 93.4 °C

There are several ski resorts at 2000m, you notice the difference in coffee temperature from sea level.
