I personally don't want coffee that is less than 180. It just isn't coffee
if it's anything less.

When I purchase a new coffee maker, I will test the temp. and return it for
a different brand if it isn't 180. So far Mr. Coffee has been returned and I
don't remember the make of another. Right now I'm using a Proctor Sylex and
it is the best in temp and ease of operation for the programmable
clock/timer. BTW, I got it at a Thrift Store for a couple bucks, just needed
a pot which I found on the next shelf for another couple bucks. And sure
enough, the gal at the counter offered to exchange it if it didn't get hot
enough.

Can't complain and now I'm spoiled by a $5 bargain..

There were a number of postings on the tort suit McDonalds lost because
their coffee was too hot, at 180 degrees F, scalding a woman who tried
to hold the cup between her legs in the car.

We just got a brand new Krups coffeemaker, and I got curious, and
measured the coffee temperature. It's 180 degrees F, just like the
coffee books recommend.

Think someone will sue Krups?
