The problem wasn't that the coffee was hot, but rather that it was hot enough to case physical harm by burning. Even coffee served even hot enough to curdle milk won't do that.

If I spill something, that's supposed to be hot, on my own lap, I should be able to sue..?

If it's hot enough to scar you when it should only be hot enough to piss you off, yeah. Selling coffee that hot is like selling someone a car while knowing it'll explode if it wrecks at over 5 mph. You just don't do it.
