About

KettleTimer Brews

Features
Read full description

KettleTimer is a focused pour-over coffee timer. Pick a recipe (V60, Kalita Wave, or Chemex), then watch the ring fill as you move through each phase: bloom, pulse pours, and drawdown. Each phase shows the target water grams. The recipes use common ratios so you can dial them in for your beans. No ads, no account.
