I kind of miss having hot coffee from McDonald's.

https://www.ehow.com/info_8682077_brewing-temperatures-mr-co... Brewing Regulations The standard brewing regulations of the Specialty Coffee Association of America (scaa.org) and the National Coffee Association (ncausa.org) require that coffeemakers brew coffee at a temperature between 197.6 degrees Fahrenheit and 204.8 degrees Fahrenheit. Most new coffeemakers will brew to these temperatures, but their performance wanes with extended and excessive use. Of the Mr. Coffee brand, the model JWX27, a 12-cup programmable coffeemaker, has routinely scored highest among tests done by coffee drinkers.

https://www.caoc.org/?pg=facts McDonald’s operations manual required the franchisee to hold its coffee at 180 to 190 degrees Fahrenheit.

My point. Coffee is brewed hot. McDonald's coffee wasn't abnormally hot, it was in fact much cooler than fresh brewed coffee.

Now do you want fresh coffee or not? We really don't need to coddle people with common sense precautions.

As someone who gets McDonald's coffee quite a bit I'd rather not be worried about accidentally spilling it from kind of shitty cups and lids and burning myself to the literal bone. Not sure I'd call that coddling either.

Fresh brewed coffee is piping hot. Sure. Coffee held at that same temperature for 3 hours is not fresh. It is merely hot.
