The reason behind the temps, according to coffee makers, is that in order to properly dissolve the essential oils to prevent premature breakdown of the oils is to brew it in the 195-205 degree range.

I remember this from the last time we discussed this. Too lazy to look it up so I'll use wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald%27s_Restaurants#cite_ref-16 Though defenders of the Liebeck verdict argue that her coffee was unusually hotter than other coffee sold, other major vendors of coffee, including Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, Wendy's, and Burger King, produce coffee at a similar or higher temperature, and have been subjected to similar lawsuits over third-degree burns.[18] Home and commercial coffee makers often reach comparable temperatures.[19] The National Coffee Association of U.S.A. instructs that coffee should be brewed "between 195-205 degrees Fahrenheit [9196 °C] for optimal extraction" and consumed "immediately". If not consumed immediately, the coffee is to be "maintained at 180-185 degrees Fahrenheit".[20] On Thu, Jul 1, 2010 at 3:01 PM, G Money <gm0n3...@gmail.com> wrote: > > ARe you sure about that?
