## What is Cuppa?

Cuppa for iOS is finally here! 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!

To make the app so quick and easy that you'll actually use it, we have built it with simplicity in mind. Just open the app and tap the button for the type of tea you're brewing. That's it. No need to navigate through complicated menus to find a particular tea, or fiddle with settings... unless you want to customize brew times or add your own favorite teas.

Once you tap, Cuppa will begin timing the brew and you'll see a teabag appear in the cup and gradually darken as the tea steeps. A countdown timer shows the steep time remaining. You can have up to two separate teas brewing at once, each with its own countdown timer. When the tea is done Cuppa will let you know with a notification -- depending on your device settings, this may be accompanied by a sound and/or vibration.

We hope you find Cuppa for your mobile device useful!

### 5/5 — Cuppa tea timer

*2025-04-27*

I’ve tried all of the apps. This one is by far the best. It’s easy to operate. The only problem that I see is a limits the number of different teas that you can brew.

### 5/5 — Time to tell you - Cuppa suits to a T!

*2025-01-20*

I love this app! It does just what it needs to do, with a simple, easy to use interface. I like to be able to time a pot of black tea and an herbal infusion at the same time.

### 5/5 — Great timer, subtle, simple

*2025-01-03*

Been using this timer for years. The notification is subtle, just the sound of a spoon being set in the saucer plus you don’t have to stop whatever you’re doing to turn it off.  One sound and done. Also very easy to use, just tap a time.

### 4/5 — Great little tea timer

*2024-10-26*

I only wish that there was a widget so I could select my timers from the Home Screen.

### 5/5 — Excellent app!

*2024-04-14*

Thank you very much!

### 5/5 — Love!

*2021-05-10*

Thanks so much for the preference options! 💜It’s near perfect now. My only issue is that sometimes the te is ready sound is a little too soft, hard to hear over (so much) ambient noise.

### 5/5 — Does the job right.

*2020-09-17*

Cuppa does just what is needed for timing tea. It's clear, simple, and also works full-screen on iPad.

### 5/5 — Brilliant-simple

*2019-09-21*

I LOVE THIS APP.  So simple and perfect.  Not full of so many obnoxious options.  I am either tired or busy.  I don’t need to start a new coding project just to brew tea.  I just want my tea - perfect.  My favorite part though is the notification - the sound of a clinking cup - subtle and lovely.  Other apps set off my alarm and cause m to jump from my skin.
