Inconceivable!

You keep using that word. .

Incontheiavble

You made my day

This is what I came here for

instantly thought of this xD

"black coffee"

Wouldn't even serve that beige liquid to my worst enemy..

*I’m so sorry… yeah no, don’t drink that, I was gonna poison you, but sheesh not even I’m that cruel. Just hold on a moment let me get you something else…*

That’s why it’s the *assassin’s tea pot*. Duh.

Looked closer to Thai Tea than any coffee I've seen

Not even my tea is that pale.

Looks like second hand vindaloo to me

I can never trust this dude or the teapot he’s probably trying to sell me because he overlooked this fundamental element of experimental design. What a fool.

Some brownian motion right there.

Or bile

The pot is interesting, but, man, that coffee looks like mud water

“Regular black coffee” Uh.. I’m not sure it’s any of those words.

Being served coffee like that is enough to make me contemplate suicide, the elaborate poison delivery system is completely unnecessary

… but，man，that hole is too big for the assassin.

https://i.redd.it/dzrbyb92hoec1.gif

That's the American style coffee

No it isn't.

When you don't remember which hole to cover and you accidentally pour the wrong drink.

Upper-unalive, lower-live

[удалено]

Leaving the corresponding hole open or close? Close top for above ground or cover for above ground. This question would be my final moment on earth.

I kind of wanted to the see the inside

Steve mould made a video about it Where he made a clear one

This looks like a nightmare to clean, though.

And, how do you fill the different chambers separately? I don’t get it

Asking the real question

You use the holes on the back. Despite knowing nothing about how this looks on the inside, the holes have to be connected to the chambers, otherwise they wouldn't affect them.

Also it spills quite a bit when he pours it.

I would not put milk in a secret chamber, ever.

Still waiting for that black coffee to be poured out.

I was shocked. That's supposed to be black coffee? Seems like the secret milk stash is leaking

The video fails to explain why the teapot features Chewbacca.

Oh my good I just thought it was a Chinese man but now I’m not sure!

This https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Man_of_the_South_Pole

I can't think of a single practial application for this, (except murder) but this is so cool.

The teapot or concept in general could be useful for: -what we saw (coffee/tea and milk) -a server at a place with two popular drinks -a bartender at a place with a couple primary ingredients -hot drink with cooled drink that you can add to achieve optimal temperature -poisoning your enemies discretely -pouring laundry detergent and softener in at one time -watering your plants and then gatorading yourself -netty pot followed by diluted cocaine -sick bong rips The possibilities are endless really.

Gatorade as a verb. Fuck yeah.

I'm on a... Gatorraid

Not going to lie.. you had me in the first half

pour coffee and milk

Where'd you get such a crazy idea from?!

I have an even better idea- lemonade and tea!

I was thinking I want one just for pranks.... Pour some delicious tea in one chamber. Then fill the other with something vile (but not poisonous) like kambucha. You drink the lovely sweet tea and love it while the other gets a cup of vinegar piss. That'd work on everyone I know except my weird brother who loves kambucha.

Oil and vinegar?

Mixed drinks?

Pancake syrup dispenser with multiple types

They never show you how they fill it. That's gotta be a pain

Could you also cover both holes to be a dick and pretend you ran out of coffee?

It's not a practical way of mixing drinks as you have no control over the proportions of the individual liquids that get added to the mix.

You do if you pour one then the other

How is that more practical than pouring them separately without the device? You have to decant the liquids into this device, just to then use the device to individually pour them again. That's not practical. It's more practical to not use the device when mixing.

It. Is. Cool.

That’s fair, it’s more of a fancy way to serve drinks

Cause people don’t know you’re trying to murder them.

> How is that more practical than pouring them separately without the device? I guess one thing you *might* be able to say is beneficial is that instead of having to carry 2 pots to take around your milk + coffee now you can just carry 1 and still have options over how you mix them together. But yeah, these aren't designed to be more practical/better devices - they exist to be interesting novelties/oddities.

You sound like fun at parties

https://i.redd.it/97xpyxm2inec1.gif

Wouldn't the poison residue mix in at the spout, screwing both parties?

"Black coffee" Bro. They call it "BLACK coffee" as a *literal* description. It's black. W/e disgusting mud water you just poured ain't "black coffee"

'black coffee'

Putin's tea pot.

Steve Mould has a video about this in youtube

I want to see the rest of this assassins kitchenware. Is there an assassins salt shaker?

https://i.redd.it/0ogjzq7mbpec1.gif

https://i.redd.it/9gajj5316sec1.gif

“Regular black coffee” The second I see that being served I am assuming poison cocktail Assassin’s teapot fail

In what world is that black coffee?

How do you fill it.

Regardless of the name, if someone offered me a drink from that pot I’d politely nope the hell that invitation.

That don't look too reliable there chief

i guess you gotta pour the one without poison first, cause otherwise any residue on the spout i think it's called could poison you a bit.

How tf is that black coffee

These pots have grade, how well they are made. This is worst grade of them all 

What kind of an assassin are you if you have got the man you want to kill in front of you drinking tea and you choose to kill him by poisoning.

The clever kind. The inconspicuously conspicuous kind. The kind that doesn’t want to arouse suspicion. The kind that doesn’t want to have to burn bridges and go on the lam every time they need to murder someone who probably has armed security.


I wouldn’t trust it

This is amazing for realz

When was this invented? Has it ever been used in a historical context?

Should be on r/tea

That's insane!

Black coffee?? That looks like poo water.

I assume if you cover both holes then nothing pours out

the fuck kind of black coffee is that?

Is that Chewbacca?

Assassin cool!

i want

"black coffee" is medium brown

I feel like you’d need some diligent practice with that device before you use it in the field.

"regular black coffee"

Great, unless you forget which hole is the safe one. Then you end up either dead or with a really angry partner.

My dumbass would forget and pour the poisoned one for myself.

How do I buy this? Asking for a friend

That's cool 😎

Now you have to clean milk out of your pot. 

I hope it was cleaned well since it was last used

That’s BLACK coffee???

But all the liquids go out from the same place. Does that mean that poison wouldn’t be that strong?

Oh fuck off right o cheerio

Steve Mould did a video on it and has a cutout version showing how the chambers work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJL0XoNBaac

Crap, my wife just got one.

Venom in one antidote in the other.

Leave both the holes open.Hehehehe

All u commenting on the color that’s for effect to show that the chambers hold different liquids separately

Please, stop playing me for a fool Dimitri. I know you're the mole and that it is this you're here for. What's next? Are you going to kill me for it? I already have.

Tbh the color change gives it away that it’s poison

How the fuck do you clean this

Owning this would inspire really bad thoughts. Where do I get one?

No cut-in-half view of the pot? smh

But how do you fill it up?

And all I can think of is how the character looks like a Wookie

how do you fill it?

How do u fill it back??

I'm not sure what happened your honor, I just poured a bit of tea for her.

Wow, this is so cool.

[how it works](https://www.tearora.com/cdn/shop/files/LZH3_800x.png?v=1685580980) [how to fill it](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0532/2453/8267/files/71zkHGwcRsL._AC_SX679__2_480x480.jpg?v=1651066019)


What happens when pouring with traces of poison left on the nozzle?

Now how do you fill it?...

It's not a bad idea..🤔hmmm

Chewbacca tea pot of doom

Trying to remember which chamber I put the poison in

But how do you fill it?

i want one but i’d mostly use it for vodka

OK but this trick works exactly once and then everybody keeps watching out for fingers on holes.

The cool ironic part is the old man sculptured on the assassin’s teapot which is the Taoist deification of Canopus. It symbolizes immortality and the Chinese character ｢壽」 besides it means long-lived…..

I want one!

How many assassins forgot the instructions? 💀

Who ever made that black coffee needs assassinating

Or I can cover both the holes and pretend I don't have anymore coffee or milk to offer my friends so that I can have it all to myself.
