Where are you getting this from?

From the wiki article:
Home and commercial coffee makers often reach comparable temperatures.[16] The National Coffee Association instructs that coffee be brewed "between 195-205 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal extraction" and consumed "immediately". If not consumed immediately, the coffee is to be "maintained at 180-185 degrees Fahrenheit." [17]

ChadTower:

Someone put something odd in there and we'll see how long it takes to get it off.  Something about her having herpes that was burned off by the coffee so she actually benefitted from it.

ChadTower:
I don't see anything like that in there.

Maybe it got whacked by a parser?

ChadTower:

Okay, WTF... three minutes?  Are people seriously watching this that closely?

2 - http://www.lectlaw.com/files/cur78.htm

3 - "coffee served at home is generally 135 to 140 degrees"

If you think there isn't someone at the McD's corporate office monitoring that wiki page, you're nuts.

The link above is good.  Much better than the wiki.  Thanks for posting it.
