Yes, but if someong gets burnt, then they can sue whoever sold the coffee to you.

If a coffee cup said "Caution--camel crossing" I would still think the coffee might be hot.

They wrote that on the side as a disclaimer because of all the people who sued on account of their coffee being hot.

That is put on there to save the place you buy it from if someone spills hot coffee on themselves or burns their mouth on the coffee...a lady bought a coffee from a Micky-D's and spilled it on her as she was driving. she sued and won a big settlement...this is a warning that is clearly visible and saves law suits. that is the reason for it.

What a strange question! Yes, unless I had ordered iced coffee, I would expect it to be hot.

One would think so, but you find some such warning printed on the cups because no one wants to risk a lawsuit.

Yes. I would assume that 'coffee' is hot because I am not a retarded, ambulance chasing, gold digging, attorney retaining jerk.

As dumb as it is, the caution is on it to prevent someone from suing if they burn themself.
