It's not the flambe or the temperature of the coffee, it's the chance of a customer getting injured accidentally when using the product that is the issue here.

If a customer can easily manage to give themselves 3rd degree burns with a flambe, or any other retail food product, then I think it's reasonable to demand the industry either take reasonable steps to keep it from happening or share financial responsibility when it doesn't.

I think taking it to court is fine. I lament that the public has become so ready to hand out loads of other people's money.
