Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Okay so I was going off at home brewing recs for specialty coffee where you usually drink your coffee at 90-100° or lower. The national Batista association recommends 155° as the holding temp so that after 2 minutes its drinkable for the crowd who likes it hot and 4 minutes for the crowd who likes the flavors to develop.
But none of this is the real point.
The real point is that holding coffee at 200° is a dangerous idea that only benefits the corporate entity, McDonalds
I'm having a hard time finding anyone who recommended 90-100F or lower for drinking, even with specialty light roasts. I usually drink my specialty light roast pour overs at 130-135F. I think you might be mixing up brew temps in Celsius for drinking temps in Fahrenheit.
The National Coffee Association says coffee should be served at 180-185F, which seems high. McDonald's was holding their coffee at 180-190F, not 200F, and they still hold their coffee at or near that temp. The only changes from this lawsuit were that they designed better cups and lids, and put more warnings on the coffee.
I'm not arguing that McDonald's should have won the lawsuit, or even that they did nothing wrong, but this common TIL and most of the "facts" in this thread are misleading or just wrong.
