I don't think that water was 220 degrees.

Probably pretty close. Water boils at 212*, so the brewing temp would be in that ballpark.
It is not possible for water to be 220 degrees at atmospheric pressure.

It will boil and turn into vapor. 🙂

clearly the barista was aware of this and added sugar to raise the temperature above 212

gosh, dont you guys ever think?

Edit: The water temperature was probably around 180 - 190º.

Well, it IS possible to superheat water, it's just unlikely that she heated up the water in the microwave before she threw it at him.

I think it was more that it was a high-pressure situation.

Actually if the female felt sexually threatened, she has every right to defend herself.

I swear some people dont realize you can use force for legitimate reasons. Just dont break into my house at night if you dont understand this......

Feeling "sexually threatened" is legally meaningless. She had to reasonably believe that she was in actual physical danger to be legally justified in using force. Her subjective state of mind is irrelevant - what matters is whether her "fear" was objectively reasonable. In this case, I am at a loss to see how she could reasonably have felt she was in physical danger by virtue of this guy exposing himself while he was safely tucked away in his car. Respectfully, I have years of experience as a prosecutor and criminal defense attorney, so I find it improbable that you can educate me on this subject, but if you can, by all means feel free . . .

err...what was to stop him from getting out of his car and coming inside exactly?

Presumably a locked door (these sorts of espresso stands in WA are not dual-purpose drive-in/retail establishments, they are drive-up only). In any case, he had been back three times and apparently made no effort to come inside, so the fact that he theoretically might have done so is insignificant.

Just to be clear, I am certainly not offended by what this young woman did - I am just saying that legally it wasn't justified IMO.
 
How has no one noticed this: "They tried to get a look at the man?s license plate, but that too was covered up with women?s underwear. "
