So let's go pour all the jugs and teapots we have. Our favorites, our bes=
t
friends, the Hamada, the one we use everyday, Mom's that she gave us,
Tuperware,,,,,... and see how they work. I'm not shutting the door on thi=
s
discussion and why they why work, but , I don't want to dig a trough up=
the
middle of a spout to keep that one last drop-may-be not to drip. (I did i=

So, how do all your pitchers pour? Is your favorite perfect one? Or is it=
like
your best friend, husband, wife, son, daughter, pet, the house you live i=

country?
Most of them work just fine.

However I don't know if I would want to see a little channel inside the l=

my spout? I suppose it could be made to look nice with some careful work.=
Anyone ever tried this?

Dear Clyde,
Agreed. Practical tests are best. Think about eating a slice of bread =
with some delicious spread on it. Do you put it in your mouth spread =
side up or spread side down. Each gives a differing perspective from =
which to appreciate the savour of the morsel.
Every issue we discuss has many points of view.
Best regards,
Ivor.

I wish most of mine poured fine! I've read every trick and tried them all and they
still usually drip. It's a lot of effort to make a teapot, only to have it drip and
have nothing to do about it at that point. So I listed to all suggestions.
Hopefully some day I'll hit on it.
