Here in Atlanta, we're about 1,300 feet (396,24 meters for you Europeans)
above sea level, so OUR coffee boils at approx 210.5 degrees Fahrenheit
(99.17 degrees for you Europeans).

Well, you did pose it as a physics question....

Dangerously hot?

Here's the recipe for black coffee.

Boil water to 212 F
Add a teaspoon of instant.

Optional extra for white - add a quantity of milk.

Physics question - what temperature would you expect the coffee to be?
