You need to look at the specifics of the case. There is hot, and
there is HOT. She reasonably expected hot, but was served HOT.

Had she spilled hot coffee, she would have learned to be more
careful, but she would not have had extensive injuries. She spilled
HOT coffee, which caused extensive injuries.


Ah, reasoning only a lawyer could love. Or concoct.

I've been drinking coffee for over 35 years. To my knowledge, unless
you're buying one of those $4.00 iced mocha latte espresso
abominations from Starbucks, everyone expects coffee to be hot. In
fact it is HOT. The HOTTER, the better.




Aaaangh!

Wrong.

You'll burn it if you get it over about 185 degrees.

And starbucks makes mud flavored ****water.
