Now we want to link this mesh with the spout movement. Here the standard link fails, because the mesh deformations and movements cannot allow it. So we use a trick:

We create a Dummy object, that will be the "link" between the mesh and the Teapot. Now we go to the "motion" tab where change the "position" controller to ATTACHMENT. Select the teapot how controller object, activate the "Align to Surface" option, and push the "Set Position" button to select one of the interior faces of the spout, how you can see in this image.

At last, we link normally the mesh to the dummy object, and see that moves with the spout´s moves.

Note: Another better easy option will be closing the spout creating the necessary faces and then use these faces how particles emitter, but I choose the more complex setup because the versatility that offers in complex scenes.

Now it´s time to create the particle system, that be PArray. Also we create a Gravity Space Warp for the fall of the particles, and a planar deflector for the ground, and bind to the PArray, how you can see here.
