Unsafe options by default, hence the prevalence of "extra hot" elsewhere. Maybe it's better to avoid expensive, convenient consumption with single-use waste and get a mug, burr grinder, and K-cup machine with a refillable adapter. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ US companies tend to lack proactive risk management because the approach to consumer product safety doesn't insist on the precautionary principle and instead focuses on periodic, reactive tort litigation after harm has already occurred, placing the burden of proof on those harmed. This is like the difference between quality control and quality assurance. One tries to fix things upstream to be better overall while the other drops an "Inspected by #42" on anything that isn't obviously unsellable.
