No human can drink 212 degree water, so you can't sell it calling it a beverage.

No human can drink 190 degree coffee, yet many humans consider perfectly normal to ask for one.

Why would anyone ever do that? Are they going to put it on a thermos and drive around with it until lunch?

I've read elsewhere that if you order Starbucks coffee "extra hot" it comes out at about 180 degrees. Some people recommend you order that temperature sometimes: http://www.businessinsider.com/starbucks-drink-extra-hot-201...

MCD here was routinely serving it at 180-190.
