Brew Timer
Step-by-step timers for each brewer, with every pour and its target weight. It chimes at each step and keeps your screen awake while it runs.

How it works
A brew timer makes repeatable coffee easier because it keeps bloom, pours, steeps, and agitation consistent from one cup to the next.
- Use preset recipes as a stable baseline.
- Build your own timed steps for custom brewers.
- Reduce inconsistency caused by guessing bloom and pour intervals.
-
Pick a preset or switch to custom steps
Presets are useful for fast setup, while custom mode is better if you already have a dialed-in recipe.
-
Run the timer during your brew
Follow each prompt so your pours and pauses happen at repeatable times.
-
Adjust one variable at a time
If the cup is off, change grind, dose, or temperature separately so the timing baseline stays useful.
Questions
Do I need a timer for every brewing method?
Not always, but it is especially valuable for pour over, immersion brews, and any recipe with multiple stages.
What should I customize first in a timer recipe?
Start with bloom length and total brew time, then refine pour spacing or agitation once the cup is close.
Why does timing matter if my ratio is already correct?
Ratio controls strength, but timing shapes extraction. Two brews with the same ratio can taste very different if bloom or contact time changes.
Can I use the timer as a training tool for consistency?
Yes. Repeating the same step timing over several brews makes it easier to judge whether taste changes came from grind, dose, or pouring rather than from inconsistent pacing.
