Interesting - you must have a more modern machine than I do. I haven't tested but mine seems to be same temp as the tap, and since it's right next to the water heater it comes out pretty darn toasty - I know it's hot enough to feel very unpleasant and make my hand red if I have to stick it in there! I don't think mine tests or regulates the hot temperature at all, it's just whatever comes out of the tap. (I don't have a manual anymore or I'd check; my machine is 15+ years old and beat to death...but still works!)
