German term or phrase: brühwarm

Das konnten 100 Gäste des Flusskreuzfahrtschiffes XXX bei einer Kaffee Genuss-Reise auf dem XXX brühwarm erleben

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

Explanation:
That would be more literal,and that's what happens to
you when your hands, mouth etc are "verbrüht". Which was the coffee outfit that got into legal trouble with scalding hot brew?
