The industry seems to agree that between 180F and 190F is the optimum
temperature for holding coffee and this exactly matches McDonald's
standards.

That does not agree with the first paragraphs of

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - When a law firm here found itself defending
McDonald's Corp. in a suit last year that claimed the company
served dangerously hot coffee, it hired a law student to take
temperatures at other local restaurants for comparison.

After dutifully slipping a thermometer into steaming cups and mugs
all over the city, Danny Jarrett found that none came closer than
about 20 degrees to the temperature at which McDonald's coffee is
poured, about 180 degrees.

Nor does it match <http://www.lectlaw.com/files/cur78.htm>, which is
admittedly pro-plaintiff. I don't drink coffee and know nothing more
about it.
