But it's not an error. It really is a teapot.

  Exactly. Making it invalid for brewing coffee. The error is specifically for rejecting a BREW request sent to a teapot.

    Hmmm, I thought I brewed tea all of the time. Should I be sending a STEEP command instead? I haven't read the docs on how to properly make a cup of tea.

      Might Sir be interested in ISO3103? ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3103 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3103 )

        Why yes. Very much so indeed. I don't know why (actually I do), but I read that in the voice of Stephen Fry.

  It is an error as error 418 is returned if you attempt to communicate with a teapot over the "Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol", which, as the name implies, is only to be used to talk to coffee pots[0]. The protocol was extended in 2014 for teapot compatibility[1]. 0: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2324 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2324 1: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7168 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7168
