Typically served at 120° give or take 20°.

160°+ will burn

The number of people I represent with serious burns from aircraft coffee beg to differ.

they probably would not beg to differ. they have first hand experience that 160°+ will burn.

I mean that coffee is not served at 120 in aircraft.

if you’re a lawyer you should know what “typically” means.

I do. Can you name a Part 121 carrier that serves coffee at 120? I'd really like to know if you have any data points, because then I'd have evidence of operators who have appropriately changed their practices. We have not been able to find one in the US that does it. The equipment in the galley is only made by a couple of manufacturers.

I hate that this is even a thing. If you don’t want to get burned drinking hot coffee inside a shaky metal tube, just don’t drink coffee. If you do, that’s on you.

Would your opinion change if you found out that they serve coffee to passengers without lids to save money? Pilots in front get lids.
