California cuppa crisis

There was us thinking that the lack of a decent cuppa in the States is down to sheer incompetence. No so, says our reader from the US Navy:

No, the "lukewarm travesty we get served Stateside" is caused by lawyers who run up huge million dollar suits when some bozo spills hot liquid on their laps. Well that's the "lukewarm" part at least. Buddy if you're going to come over to our side of the pond you're just going to have to learn to love our preferred form of caffeination - Coffee (AKA "Starbucks")

Thanks for clarifying that. You're not stationed on the USS Arabica by any chance?
