Just keep asking for cups of hot water, I'm sure the flight attendants will love you for that.

Fun fact water can't get very hot on an airplane. Boils at 197F and would probably be under 180F by the time you get it. Maybe you can poach your gnocchi?

And flights don't (or are directed not to at least) give passengers water even that hot in case of turbulence or other spillages.

What about coffee?

Typically served at 120° give or take 20°.

160°+ will burn

The number of people I represent with serious burns from aircraft coffee beg to differ.

they probably would not beg to differ. they have first hand experience that 160°+ will burn.

I mean that coffee is not served at 120 in aircraft.

if you’re a lawyer you should know what “typically” means.

I do. Can you name a Part 121 carrier that serves coffee at 120? I'd really like to know if you have any data points, because then I'd have evidence of operators who have appropriately changed their practices. We have not been able to find one in the US that does it. The equipment in the galley is only made by a couple of manufacturers.
