I recall when I was a teenager and working at McDonald's:
The coffee pot shattered on me when lifting it from the burner.
I believe; I would have been seriously burned if I
I would not have had their specific uniforms on. I stripped
In the basement area and was taken to the hospital.
FYI - Regards

I have heard, but never read, that a McDonald's executive testified that
the they had high coffee temperatures so that it would take a long time
to
cool down so that the customer would not have time to get a second cup.
Can anyone confirm/refute?
Thanks,

Every coffee maker I have ever seen pours water near the boiling point
over the grounds.
The temperature of the warmers is what affects how hot it is when it is
poured into the cup. And I suspect people getting coffee "to go" find
value in hotter initial temperatures, since the coffee will still be hot
when they get to wherever they are going to drink it.

With the intent of beating the equine directly into the ground, I find
that
I must add that McDonalds uses excessively high temperatures to brew
it's
coffee. Higher temperatures = more cups per pound of coffee, so there is
a
definite financial incentive to raise the water temperature well beyond
that of the typical consumer coffee maker. Add this fact to the number
of
ignored consumer complaints about the aforementioned high temperature
and
you begin to see a picture of corporate neglect. Almost all coffee
drinkers
have spilled coffee on themselves at one time or another, but how many
of
us have sustained third degree burns as a result?
