Barisieur Coffee Alarm Clock

No matter how much sleep you get, waking up is almost always a chore

Letting go of that glorious dream you were having, hauling yourself away from the warmth and comfort of your bed, and shuffling to the kitchen to guzzle down some caffeine is a much more arduous process than it should be.

But what if you didn’t have to shuffle at all?

What if you could enjoy a hot cup of coffee just moments after waking up? Barisieur, is an ingenious hybrid of an alarm clock and a coffee brewer. 

You can get your daily dose of liquid crack without ever leaving your sheets

Broadly speaking, the device works just as you’d expect: you pre-load it with some water and grounds, put your cup in place, and set the alarm.When wakeup time rolls around, instead of sounding a horrible, skull-piercing klaxon, it wakes you up with the gentle sound of bubbling water, accompanied by the wonderful aroma of freshly-prepared coffee.

The top is made of wood and holds the various beakers and tubes needed to heat and transfer water

It looks more like a classy, high-end chemistry set than anything else. The coolest part of the entire contraption is definitely the water heating system. Rather than using a traditional heating element, Barisieur uses a hidden induction heater to heat up a bunch of steel ball bearings in the bottom of the beaker.  

These bearings then transfer heat to the water, gradually bringing it to a boil

This causes steam and pressure to build inside the beaker, which pushes it up through a tube and onto the grounds. There is a milk vessel which lifts out from the tray, Is cooled overnight/ throughout the day with the bespoke peltier cooler. Sealed drawer for Tea & Coffee and other necessities. Pretty nifty, right?

Barisieur certainly isn’t the first device that can do this for you, but it’s arguably the most attractive we’ve ever encountered

The alarm clock portion is housed in a black base with a window on the front left that displays the time, a drawer on the front right for sugar and coffee grounds, and knobs on the front and side that control both the clock and coffee maker settings. Steam pressure is produced, forcing the water out of the vessel and into the stainless steel filter, brewing the user a perfect beverage.
