**
What I Built
**
A website that lets you try to brew coffee.
You can't. It's a teapot.
That's it. That's the project.
The "Problem" It Solves
None. Absolutely zero. Coffee drinkers worldwide remain unhelped.
How It Works
Every time you click "Brew Coffee", the app faithfully responds
with HTTP 418 — "I'm a Teapot" — exactly as RFC 2324 intended.
The teapot will also roast you personally for trying.
No coffee was brewed in the making of this project.
** Why I Built This**
Larry Masinter wrote RFC 2324 on April 1, 1998 as a joke.
It defined the Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol (HTCPCP)
and introduced HTTP status code 418: I'm a teapot —
a server's right to refuse brewing coffee because it is,
in fact, a teapot.
28 years later, I felt it deserved a proper tribute.

- A teapot
- Misplaced determination
What I Learned
Never ask a teapot to brew coffee. It knows what it is.
