The Best of Both Phone, and TabletPublisher's Description
From Nathanatos Software:
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.
- 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.
- Customize the brew complete notification, including support for Growl.

"Bombs Away! But nice when it works."
Version: Cuppa 1.6.8
Pros
Timers are nice. Fun audio. Nice idea.
Cons
Bombs. Not nearly enough options.
Summary
When this app works, it is fun and simple. Unfortunately, the first time I booted it, the application was highly unstable. Features didn't work. Then I chose to use the 'Quick Timer' and it BOMBED. Thankfully, the second boot was well behaved. The sound effects are great. My complaint, when the app is working, is that there is an odd set of default choices: Blackcurrant Tea (unheard of in the USA), Earl Grey (bleh), Libby's Mint Tea (Huh? Is this an ad?) and Rooibos (What?!). No basic green tea, or black tea. So you use the Quick Timer instead, which is customizable. There is an iPhone/iPad version for 99ยข.

"Perfect for my needs!"
Version: Cuppa 1.5.4
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I love this timer! I use it for tea, of course, but also for other things when I don't want to get busy and forget to check. It's a small app, unobtrusive and just does the job without any fuss. It's to the point where I don't think I could do without it! -
"Smashing...What!"
Version: Cuppa 1.4.4
Summary

I love this little gem!
Always makes me the perfect cuppa.
Thanks for making it.
And yes... since It's the one I drink, I second the request for sound so as to hear Picard and his famous "Tea, Earl Gray, Hot! -
"Nice, but needs a couple of things."
Version: Cuppa 1.4.2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Thanks! I've missed having this functionality ever since TeaTime was orphaned.
I like the feature of having custom beverages, but I would love to be able to specify custom sounds for when it was done. Gotta have Picard saying "Tea, Earl Gray, Hot." -
"other uses"
Version: Cuppa 1.2.0
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
i been using it to make my instant cream of wheat.
it's also good for limiting the time of quickies.
and cooking hard boiled eggs.
if i set and and keep re-setting it about 20 times, it also helps me to keep track of the time i sit in zazen meditation.
in all, a very useful application.
