Alarm clock wakes you up — with a fresh cup of coffee

It's not yet available for sale, but that just gives us time to save up for one.

Instead of waking you up with a blaring alarm or annoying radio — Isn't everything annoying first thing in the morning? — the ingenious Barisieur alarm clock wakes you up with a fresh cup of coffee.

Yes, please.

British designer Joshua Renouf created the wake-up call even morning-haters will love. You'll rise and shine to the gentle sounds of ball bearings clinking against glass, bubbling water, and the smell of a just-brewed, much-needed cup of joe.

You can literally wake up and smell the coffee.

Bonus: This alarm clock might even convince you to give up the snooze button.

PSFK explains how the Barisieur works:

"The sleek device has stainless steel ball bearings inside a bespoke hand blown glass beaker that boils water through induction heating. The boiling water is pushed out of the beaker through a slim glass tube and is poured over the ground coffee which is placed in a sustainable stainless steel coffee filter. The coffee then drips through the filter and into a glass cup. In the middle of the tray is a small glass container that holds the milk or cream."

Renouf believes the process of prepping the alarm clock the night before will even help with your bedtime routine.

"It encourages a ritual before going to sleep, signalling to the body and mind that it is time to unwind and relax," he writes. "Living slow even when times are fast."

Sure, you could move your coffee maker into the bedroom and set it on a timer, but this alarm clock also looks pretty cool, in a geek-chic way.

"The alarm clock looks like one of those classic rectangular digital alarm clock with a chemistry set on top of it," PSFK describes. "The base of the Barisieur is American walnut with a digital clock display. There are knobs on the side and a switch for the coffee brewer next to the digital display. A small drawer on the front serves as storage for the sugar and ground coffee beans."

Renouf is now developing his coffee maker for commercial use. The projected retail price of the Barisieur is around £150 to £250 (or $275 to$460 CAD).
