How it works
This pour over coffee timer counts up from the first pour. Press Mark stage when the bloom ends, when the kettle goes down and at the last drips: each stage gets a time, and the third press stops the clock.

Pour over coffee timer use: read the three rows
Bloom is the wait after the first small pour. Pour runs until the kettle goes down, and Drain is the water still in the filter running through. Time is that stage alone. Total (split) is the clock at the press, so the last total is the whole brew.
Keep the brew
The page holds one brew and no weights. Copy stages puts the table on the clipboard for your notes.
- Pick one sign for the end of the drain, such as the stream breaking into drips, and keep to it.
Questions and answers
What is the bloom in pour over coffee?
The first small pour that wets the grounds, left to sit before the rest of the water goes in. Carbon dioxide leaves the coffee as bubbles or foam while it sits. Wikipedia's drip coffee article gives about 30 to 45 seconds for it.
Does a pour over timer count up or down?
This one counts up from zero. If your recipe says to pour again at a set time, watch the clock and pour. The rows then record what you really did, and that is what you compare with the next brew.
Can I use it as a coffee brew timer for another brewer?
Yes. More options has a setup for a dripper with a stopper valve, with the rows Steep and Drain. For any other brew, leave Mark stage alone and press Stop at the end: the clock reads the whole brew, with no rows under it.
