SET RANT ON
The company I'm working at has a Keurig coffee making station....
WHY DOES THE ELEPHANTING THING HAVE TO MAKE THE COFFEE SO BLASTED HOT THAT YOU CAN'T DRINK IT FOR A HALF HOUR AFTER IT'S MADE!!!!
Last week I put 4 ice cubes in my coffee and had to let it sit on my desk for 10 minutes to further cool down.
What idiot decided that it needed to be so friggin hot???
SET RANT OFF
There... now I feel better

At a previous job a coworker was a tea drinker. He used the hot water dispenser from the coffee machine and then microwaved it for another minute. I have no idea how he could drink something so hot.

I don't like this ridiculous device as it is. The only benefit is that you don't have to make a fresh pot.
On the counter next to it are probably 20 different boxes of flavors and permientations of drinks.
I just want coffee. For crying out loud just give me a dam cup of plain ole joe!!! And I don't want it hot enough to melt lead.

If he were British he probably added half a cup of cold milk to it!

It's what ice does when placed in a hot medium!

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 believes it's too hot

Kevin does not believe in a scientific approach to the solution.
I'd rather be phishing!

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.
