Cuppa is a small application 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!
Cuppa is an application that lives in your Dock: just right-click or control-click on Cuppa's icon and select the beverage you are brewing (the beverage list and times can be edited, and even expanded to time things other than tea!). When you choose a beverage, Cuppa will begin timing the brew for you, with a countdown timer that's optionally displayed as a badge on the dock icon. When the tea is done Cuppa will attempt to get your attention by various configurable means.
