Yes, but ISTR that that was not just normal coffee hot, but stupidly
scaldingly hot. When Lucy was working in a cafe, the standard for serving
tea was to carry a tall glass of water straight out of the boiling water
thingy (not a kettle) on a saucer (with Tea Bag on the side) to the
customer. Inherently unstable, and she scalded herself quite badly.

Cheers
