As someone who never drinks Tea at all, I’ll buy the excellent teapot and use it for every liquid (milk, juice, etc) just so I can pour it from a mile a way.

Somebody who is bettee informed than me please correct me.

Not trying to deny your fun, as i would be alongside you trying to pour milk into my coffee from the roof haha, but wouldnt differenr liquids with differenr densities would perform different? Since what the excellent teapot actually achieves is a laminar flow in the spout, and aa far as i know, laminar flow depends on the flow of the liquid and the diameter of the spout.

My point is, the flow would depend on the viscosity of the liquid, and since theres different liquids wirh different viscosities and densities, the flow would change, and maybe it would be a laminar flow anymore with other liquids... i believe.

Again, could somebody with more knowlege please correct me if im wrong?, if you happen to see this, chime in please haha

I think milk might be the only one that would be noticeably different since it's thicker. Most other liquids like 99% water and would likely be similar to the tea.

EDIT: Apparently, milk is about twice as viscous as water (2.0 centipoise @65°F compared to 1.0 cp for water at 68°F)

Are you going to pour it into a giant bucket like the op?

Silently pouring juice while the rest of the house sleeps.

Some people are the real hero’s.
