German term
brühwarm
Obviously, 'brühwarm' is used here as a pun - my problem is finding an English equivalent that picks up on both aspects (the coffee being fresh from the pot, and the experience being at close quarters...)
Looking forward to hearing your ideas ;-)

scalding hot
you when your hands, mouth etc are "verbrüht". Which was the coffee outfit that got into legal trouble with scalding hot brew?
Discussion
Tho I do like Nicole's hot (or fresh?) off the press - but coffee press might not be so well known, maybe doesnt matter!
