Cuppa 1.6

Cuppa 1.6 is a smart and easy-to-use application for Mac OS X to time your cup of tea as it steeps. Tired of leaving your tea too long, to become bitter and cold, or drinking it too soon and not appreciating its full potential? Then this utility is for you!

Use it from the Dock: just right-click or control-click on Cuppa's icon and select the beverage you are brewing. Or select a beverage from the Beverages menu. Cuppa will begin timing the brew, and you'll see a teabag appear in the cup and gradually darken as the tea steeps. When the tea is done Cuppa will attempt to get your attention by various configurable means. You can also enable a countdown timer that's displayed in the dock icon.

1. All functionality is available from the Dock menu.
2. Dock icon can display a small countdown timer as the beverage steeps.
3. Customize the beverage list and steeping times.
4. Quick Timer feature turns Cuppa into a versatile freeform timer.

6. Also great for timing French press coffee and 2-minute noodles!
7. Full Cocoa source code available.
