Why when you buy a cup of tea from station concourses or starbucks, costa etc etc those sort of places, is the tea hot enough to burn your eyebrows off. How do they get the tea so hot and why is it that hot. A normal cuppa at home straight out the kettle is never that hot, I dont understand it

I know what you mean, I ask them to put a couple of ice cubes in it normally. They also fill it up right to the top so that it spills all over your hands, even if it's got one of those plastic lids on it.

I've always wondered this too.
If you're out with kids and they have a juice they then have to sit around and wait for ages till you can drink your coffee (or tea) or you have to get it to go and push a stroller and burn your hand!!

Annoying yes, but not as annoying as those posh 'tea cups' they give you at meetings and conferences where the tea is cold before you have sat down to drink it!!

could be because in your home you're likely to be at a normal temp. but on train stations etc. you could be cold so the contrast of temperatures is greater

what the old guy said.
Legal guidelines dictate that all food and drink being prepared have to be at certain temperatures depending on the category they fall in.

YOUR tea from home is made with boiling water
and others is made for "stream"
and also never tastes as nice either

is there anything on this planet people wont complain about? its either going to be too hot or too cold or too much or too little or something else. carry a thermos or wait till you get home.

its to cover their butts legally. any food serving establishment has to conform to local laws about food/drink. at lower tempertures, bacteria can grow.
