    You can get third degree burns from touching water which is 150 degree F for around 2 seconds. Most coffee world wide is served between 160 and 180 F.

    In that case the water was supposedly served at 190 F while competitors coffees were served at 160 F. The lawyers in that suit claimed that if the coffee had been in the 160 range it would have taken up to 20 seconds to get third degree burns. We now know that even at 160 F she would have gotten the same burns within 5 seconds.

    What exactly is your point?

      Coffee should not be served at 160f. That’s undrinkably hot and just burns the coffee.

      McDonalds only does this maliciously so you won’t ask for a free refill.
