However, it is hot enough to scald, thus following Murphy’s Law, you will be scalded eventually (it has scalded the inside of my mouth).

What is your real name?

Goldilocks?

Our kids learned to safely eat or drink hot foods & beverages at a very young age. Most people above the age of 6 or 8 have learned that cooked foods and boiled beverages are at a temperature somewhere between scalding hot and room temperature.

Until you determine where on that temp scale your food/beverage currently is, prudence demands that you take very small sips/bites. At the worst, if you are extremely impatient and careless then only the tip of your tongue or your lips will be "burned".

When my children were young, we never set scalding-hot liquids in front of them. Murphy’s Law again.

Scalding hot liquids, and moving motor vehicles are a bad combination. When I buy a take-out coffee, I want to be able to actually drink it. If wanting to drink the coffee, before I reach my destination, is “extremely impatient”, then I plead guilty.
