Yes. Just like *every* restaurant does. Just like your home coffee maker makes. Just like coffee drinkers demand. As for "full knowledge that some would get burned," how on earth could anyone predict what would happen? When you boil water at home, do you make it "with full knowledge that some would get burned?"

I take a shower most days with the full knowledge that people slip in tubs every day, some resulting in very serious injuries. I go swimming in the summer with the full knowledge that there is a very small risk of having a seizure and drowning. And I go in the car every day with the full knowledge that there will be around 115 people dying in car crashes on a given day.

Risk is a part of life. And getting burned by coffee is a risk of drinking coffee.

So your argument is that if you get hit by a drunk driver who is negligent that "Risk is part of life. And getting one's family killed while driving is a risk of driving," Correct? 

Yes. Falls under the category "*** happens." Any more questions?

Are you about to launch your tired, old "That's not how it should be" diatribe?
