how people can order and drink “extra hot” coffee and not burn their mouths?

If I’m getting 2nd degree burns in my mouth, how aren’t they? How is their skin/tongue/mucus membrane able to withstand something mine can’t?

Maybe they are getting burned but have a higher tolerance for pain and just deal with it. I love fresh hot pizza and sadly 3 out of 4 times I eat it while its still too hot, resulting in the roof of my mouth behind my teeth getting burnt, skin peels, etc. It takes a day or 2 to heal back. So its not hot enough to trigger my warning and panic reflexes but it is hot enough to cause physical damage.
