How is this different?
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, September 28 2012 @ 11:04 AM EDT
"But McDonald's was also at fault due to making the coffee with very hot
water -- well above what was normally done -- as a cost savings."

This is BULL. At the time that ths suit was still on going a local (to me) news
agency looked into this issue themselves. They tested the temperature of the
Coffe at several locations for a number of different fast food chains.
McDonald's coffe wasn't any hotter than anyone elses. Additionally I saw a
report at the time that looked in to complaints that McDonald's recieved about
the temperature of their coffe. There were more complaints that the coffe was
too cold than that it was too hot.

How was it hoter than "boiling"?

One expects coffe to be near the boiling point of water. Yeah, great coffemakers
stop heating some 4 or 5°C before that, so it tastes better... Still, makes no
difference on the possible injuries.

The only way McDonalds could possible make hotter coffe is if they used
pressurized steam. Yet, if they did that, it would be in an habit of exploding
once anybody touched it, so I'm quite sure they didn't go that route.
