Yes that brew temp is correct. Any hotter and you'll scald the coffee. That's the temperature that the water hits the ground beans, not the temperature it should hit your lips.

In a french press, the brew then sits for 3-4 minutes before being served at a hot, yet palatable temperature. Same goes with a pour-over drip or a chimex.

The problem people have with coffee that's too hot is usually related to subpar brew methods, either scalding the coffee grind with water that's too hot (during extraction) or using a cheap drip machine that has a burner that's overactive and basically scorches any coffee that's left out too long.
