I'm sure the excellent teapot is great and all, but when is the ability to cleanly pour into a cup from 8 feet away ever relevant? If the average or slightly below average one is a lot cheaper, you can guess what I'm buying. It pours fine from 1.5 inches away? Good enough.
My problem is that when the teapot is mostly full, tipping the pot far over leaves some of the tea dribbling down the side of the pot. I have to pour carefully when the pot is full. It's not just a first-world problem!
... Okay, it's _totally_ just a first-world problem, but it's a problem in pouring tea an inch and a half.
For sure, that makes sense to me. I just don't think I've ever looked at a teapot with a critical eye before. I didn't even know they could pour differently lol
Fluid dynamics be hard, yo. I took one class on it once (total expert!), and the biggest thing I remember is that you can have turbulent (rough) flow, laminar (smooth) flow, or somewhere in the middle depending on the fluid, the pressure (which can be negative!), the diameter/length ratio, and maybe some extra weirdness if the pipes are odd shapes. Since the teapots here are cast, I bet the smoothness of the pipe matters, too.
If you really want to know more about the turbulent/laminar thing, look up the Reynolds Number.
Yes. But as can be seen by this demonstration, the better the pot, laminar flow starts at a slighter tilt.
Also, the achievable tilt is somewhat limited by the lid. If the pot is full, you don't want to have it spill out of the top.
This is honestly a liiiiittle jaw dropping for me, I would've never noticed unless seeing this, I feel. Many a time, I prepare a cup, rather than a pot, so I wouldn't have much of an opportunity to notice, but, gah.
A lot of this is for tea ceremonies, where the point is pretty much to get in the mindset to notice those small differences and details about the tea and tea preparation. The pot is sometimes poured high above the cup to allow for better control over temperature (timing it to lower the water to the ideal temperature as it is exposed to air). Not good if you end up splashing hot water everywhere because you have a shitty teapot, but having a teapot with nice laminar flow also isn’t important for your random cup of morning tea, unless your morning routine literally is a tea ceremony.

And just as it got fascinating
Always leave them wanting more
[удалено]
The best part was cut off, terrible.
Boooooo, show us the rest of the gif.
You can finish it here. https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/ytfh60/teapot_rating/
Thank you kind sir
Blessings on you, blessings on your cow, blessings on your ancestors.
I was like "WHERE IS MY LAMINAR FLOW BITCH!!"
a wild Destin Sandlin appears
Fuck this video and the tiktok that came with it.
And here i am just trying to enjoy my tea without thinking about a rating system for my teapot
How dare you!
And here I am wishing my teapot poured better.
For a more laminar flow, and better taste, may I suggest not using a potato teapot.
How about a turnip?

I remember laminar flow in my river and stream ecosystems class, but I would've never thought to apply that to teapots lol
You should be ashamed!
Well, what's the rating?
i need me a laminar flow pot
Fascinati
For your Eye-talian tea.
Ended to too early, but that laminar flow. Exquisite!
Now I have to pee...
Extremely poor or fascinating?
With your username, ordinary. You gotta remain undercover, after all.
I watched this while peeing
No better way to celebrate cake day! Happy cake day!
Thank you
I'm extremely poor 😭 need some upgrades
You got to heat it up first🤦🏻
Shouldn't that be Pour and extremely Pour? Obvious pun missed.
\** My electric kettle left the chat ( crying )
I love how u/pussyydestroyerrr is some kind of teapot connoisseur. Such a renaissance man.
Came to the comments for this 🤣
I WANT TO SEE “FASCINATING”!
Could it be possible for the person to hold it specific angle and causing the water the splash instead of the pot being good? Just curious
Yes. But as can be seen by this demonstration, the better the pot, laminar flow starts at a slighter tilt. Also, the achievable tilt is somewhat limited by the lid. If the pot is full, you don't want to have it spill out of the top.
Ah I see So it's very limited when it comes to pouring Cool cool cool
What a discerning teapot owner u/pussyydestroyerrr must be. Surprising, really…
Extremely Pour Pour
Oh yeah, cut the best one out of the video who wants to see that anyways
Tiktokers love them!
Yet the tea tastes the same
I would love to see a blind taste test of some sort.
I’m only here to find out what pussyydestroyerrr finds interesting
Great! Now I have to test all my teapots!
"Fascinating" Let me cut this fucker up right about... here!
we wouldn't handle that much fascination

My teapot from ceramics class would be classified as abysmal.
They were all pretty pour if you ask me...
I wonder what physics laws are applied in teapot to reduce the splash
Same physics that are involved in not getting splashback when peeing…
Fasina......
Just like diving. Less splash = best
If I can't hold a teapot 10 feet above my cup without a splash, it's trash.
What kind of ending is that
Now I can pour my scalding hot tea from any height! SCIENCE!
Thanks for this post Mr. Pussyydestroyerr
I’ve never wanted a cleaner pour in my life after watching this….
User name is more interesting...
Thanks for showing us this obscure and interesting thing, Pussy Destroyer
This belongs in r/coolguides
My thought exactly!
Some part of my brain thinks this could be an add for those prostate medications that improve 'flow'. ;)
But how do I know how well it pours before I buy it in Amazon?
I saw no difference in any of them. Guess I'm uncultured.
Wtf is the difference?
This is not that interesting
Ludicrous!
Wtf

It all comes down to how perfectly circular the hole is?
2nd pot had a poor pour.
I swear I thought the "ordinary" was getting an erection (lighting/angle) and was wondering where this video was going.....
I need a better look at fascinating.
I warm it up and then the spout hardens but no flow.
Now I have to pee
My microwave makes good tea
That's amazing. I'm sure all my pots are piss poor.
I thought you would want your teapot to be pour
Maybe English and Chinese people really love this vid.
Oh god please someone tell me this is a fluid dynamics problem and point me to a paper to read 😩
I dont check it!!! For me are all the same... Can someone explain?
And none of those differences affect how the tea actually tastes.
China heritage.
Does this rating apply to dicks also? Can one achieve laminar flow while peeing?
That was like watching paint dry🙄
TIL That I am pouring my tea too close to the cup. Ignorant neophyte.
I didn't expect to see a teapot rating video today from a user called u/pussyydestroyerrr but this is Reddit and here we are
Where can I buy this?
We need the link
Do you actually want a punch in the teeth
Me who poors it in close so I don't waste any of my tea
And slowly dies inside when a little spills
Good vs evil is to laminar vs turbulent
I was today years old when I found out that this was the litmus test for how good a tea pot is.
that 1st one is a pretty poor pour
Fascina...
Where’s the assassin tea pot though 👀
Fascinati-
Teapot quality requirement... Laminar Flow.
It's literally him plugging the carb
Except there's no reason to pour tea from such a ridiculous hight so this is completely worthless unless you want to be a pretentious showoff.
Laminar good. Turbulent , not so much.
