Coffee Pots Collections


These are my small collections of CoffeePots.   What is the difference between TeaPot and CoffeePot?

The difference between a TeaPot and a CoffeePot is usually the shape.  TeaPots are shorter and wider.  The reason it was designed in that manner potentially due to the tea leaves float and the spout, which joins the body of the tea pot near the bottom, allows the liquid brew to flow out from under them. 
The CoffeePot are usually slimmer and taller, possibly due to coffee is grounded and it sinks, so the spout is typically mounted near the top of the coffee pot, allowing the coffee to flow out from above the grounds.
Additionally, the more rounded shape of the TeaPot encourages movement and floats the tea leaves while the taller CoffeePot lessens the movement of the liquid and promotes the settling of the grounds.
