It was more than that. I thought the lawsuit was stupid until I heard the details. McDonald's heated the coffee as hot as they could so it would be too hot to drink while you were eating in the dining area. This saved a ton of money on refills. McDonald's knew that their coffee was dangerously hot just to make a bigger profit.

Yup, the other coffee sellers were all selling at least 20 degrees cooler, which is a drinkable temperature.

Hmm. I always assumed a hot drink would be made with boiling water, as we all do at home or at work using a kettle every single day. Common sense suggests that a hot drink would be hot, as in likely above 60 degrees Celsius but up to 90 degrees, these would obviously cause burns if spilt.
Wait...US McDonald's do refills??? Maybe that's where they've been going wrong. Never seen a refill anywhere in Europe.

Free refills of any drink was common at restaurants in the USA at the time.
