Do you remember that stupid story about a lady suing Mcdonalds because her coffee was too hot, turns out that the reason people think it was stupid was because of propaganda sponsored by McDonalds and actually was not stupid at all.

My understanding is that the procedure for making coffee there was to pressure cook it and super heat the water, then let it cool to around 190F before serving. From what I heard that procedure allegedly wasn't followed and she was served super heated coffee which made for a much more serious burn than "normal" coffee temps (which still burn effectively)
