Product Description:

Cuppa is a small 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.

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

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

Seems to work just fine under Snow Leopard 10.6.1.

I especially appreciate that it was done with Cocoa; Carbon just doesn't taste right. ;)

Suggestion: Screen real estate on my MacBook is limited. I keep my dock hidden, so I would appreciate a menubar icon option.

For the best cup of tea, try Yorkshire Gold. I've been a tea drinker for over 70 years and this is the best. The only thing is, you won't need a timer because you'll get a great cuppa in seconds - two STRONG cups in one tea-bag. Don't forget "Boiling Water"! Then a spoon-full of sugar and a drop of milk. LUVERLY! Old Limey. Try it you won't regret it.

OS X 10.4.11 Intel. The icon bounces a few times then dies. 1.6.2 works fine.
