I can remember some of the old ‘teapots’ back in the UK, you could quite literally scrape ‘it’ off the insides. Some of the real ‘old-timers’ would not allow the pot to be cleaned claiming it spoilt the flavour.

The browser title briefly shows “Coffee Estate”, so the link is probably close to what you meant, but not quite spot on. I sheared off the last chunk of gibberish, which produced a “Page not available” message.
