What is the ideal temperature range for 'xhot' drinks?

The ideal temperature range for 'xhot' drinks is 165-170 degrees. This temperature range is significantly hotter than standard hot beverages, which typically fall into a lower range. Preparing drinks at this higher temperature allows for a more intense flavor profile, as it enhances the extraction of certain flavor compounds from the coffee or tea. Additionally, it caters to customer preferences who enjoy beverages served at a higher temperature.

Maintaining this specific range also ensures that the drink remains enjoyable while helping to prevent premature cooling, which can affect the overall drinking experience. Serving beverages in this temperature range is a key part of the Dutch Bros brand, aligning with their commitment to providing quality and satisfying drinks to their customers.
