What is the standard temperature range for our hot drinks?

• A. 150-160 degrees
• B. 160-170 degrees
• C. 170-180 degrees
• D. 140-150 degrees

Answer: (B)

Hot beverage temperatures are set to balance flavor extraction with safety. If drinks are too cool, flavors underdevelop and the drink seems weak; if they’re too hot, the palate can be scorched and flavors can taste burnt. The standard range used in many shops sits in the middle-to-upper hot zone, hot enough to bring out aroma and sweetness without being dangerous or masking delicate notes. This range also supports consistency across orders, ensuring customers get a reliably tasty cup every time.
