The water should 85°C to 90°C for optimal coffeeness. Too hot and it'll be bitter.

I have a basic Keurig coffee maker at home - the coffee it makes is only slightly hotter than the POS Mr. Coffee it replaced. It is totally drinkable within a minute.
Maybe your machine is just defective?

We have two of these[^] here. The Keurig guy was in yesterday and they're regularly stocked an maintained.
They just set them up too damn hot right from the start.

 From their FAQ: Keurig believes that the optimal temperature for brewing coffee, tea and hot cocoa is 192° F. This is the internal temperature of the water in your brewer. However, once your coffee, tea or hot cocoa is brewed, the dispensed temperature can vary greatly. In-cup temperature depends on the cup temperature and material. When brewing into an insulated container, such as a foam or paper cup, 180-185°F in-cup temperature is typically attained. In addition, dispensing into a cold ceramic mug will cool the coffee significantly. Please note that stream temperature of the first brew after turn-on or after an extended idle period can be a couple degrees cooler.
Several Keurig brewers and Keurig licensed brewers are designed with an adjustable internal brew temperature. Models with this feature include the Special Edition, Ultimate, Platinum, Select, Cuisinart, Breville and OfficePRO® Premier. These brewers allow you to adjust the pre-set temperature of 192°F down by 5 degrees for a temperature range of 187-192°F.
Get a thermometer and check it - but I'm guessing you're just used to coffee less hot than most.

Kevin does not believe in a scientific approach to the solution.

We have the exact same model and it makes perfect hot coffee. It is hot but that's what hot coffee is supposed to be. You must just be used to lukewarm beverages.

I'm not so sure. I see other people here putting ice in their coffee and blowing on it to cool it off.
I bet the temp's just set too high

My Keurig has the brewing temperature preset at 192, but it can be lowered to 187. Perhaps your model has such a feature.

I have zero control over it. I'm sure there's no shortage of sick & twisted folks here who enjoy havin their lips raw from the heat, which is probably why it's so blasted hot.

Englishmen around the world who would throw away their tea if it fell beneath 88C currently rofl at wimpy Americans while reflecting that this is why they can't have nice things like a proper cup of tea when they visit USA! USA!! USA!!!

Late to the party, but, here is my view.
I want my coffee hot, not warm.
We have a Keurig machine; I make my coffee black - no creamer, no sugar.
I can drink it in under 10 minutes and go back for another cup.
