Popcorn popper roasting timer for coffee

Popper roasting moves fast, so the timer needs to be simple, readable, and quick to tap.

Built for quick reactions

Mobile controls keep first crack and drop close while the timer stays large and readable.

Use simple targets

Popper presets give beginner-friendly timing targets that can be adjusted after each roast.

Save what worked

When a popper roast tastes good, save the batch weight, timing, drop decision, and tasting notes.

Questions

Common questions

Is this too advanced for popcorn popper roasting?

No. You can start with just Start, First Crack, Drop, and notes, then add temperature logs later.

Can I use it without a temperature probe?

Yes. Temperature logging is optional; the timer and event markers still create a useful roast record.
