Don't confuse the brew temperature and the serving temperature they aren't the same thing. Coffee grounds are at room temperature (when properly brewing) meaning that the temperature of the actual coffee is significantly less. It might be as high as 180 but doubtful fresh brewed coffee is any hotter (I would bet it is lower but not willing to test). Additionally McDonald's got in trouble for intentionally harming it's consumers. When discussing internally about incidents of burning executives thought that the cost of paying for medical bills was less than the cost of refills. Aka they said "we know this will harm people but ensuring people can't get free refills is more important".
