I'd have not offered her the $800.

I assume a cup of coffee is the temperature it is brewed at until proved otherwise. Coffee is not properly extracted at 150°. 185-205° is typical. If I were to add cream (I only drink it black, so that's hypothetical) I'd not do so in my lap, that would be stupid.

While I understand the argument that it would be sensible for MD to have made coffee lower temp just to CYA, it's a shame that people have to even think about CYA.
