The Bariseur: an alarm clock with integrated coffee machine

Hybrid coffee machine

Here's an idea: This new alarm clock by designer Josh Renouf has an integrated coffee machine that wakes us every morning with a delicious scent.

Alarm clocks that tickle us out of sleep, in which they let the sun rise for us, or an alarm that wakes us just when we are not in a deep sleep phase - in the market of alarm clocks there is a lot of activity. But what makes us more pleasant than a good cup of fresh coffee?

For designer Josh Renouf, there was only one answer: the barber. This is an alarm clock in which a coffee machine is integrated. Just before it's time to get up, the machine uses a timer to start brewing the coffee. So when you wake up the pleasant aroma rises in the nose. Mmmm ...

But that's not all. The barber also cooks tea and offers the opportunity for morning muffles to turn over to the other side of the bed. Because with the timer, the coffee can start cooking both 5-30 minutes before getting up and 5-30 minutes after waking up.

The barber should not only make for a more pleasant wake-up, but also to slow down the evening before going to bed. If you want to wake up with fresh coffee the next morning, you have to take care of all the necessary settings the evening before . According to British designer Renouf, just this nightly ritual could help you leave the stress of everyday life behind and calm down. In addition, we can look forward to our cup of coffee in the morning hours before.

And this is how the barber works: The small metal balls in the glass container heat the water by induction and bring it to a boil. The boiling water is then passed to a filter with coffee over cup.

There is also a small container for milk and sugar. So everyone can drink their coffee the way they like it best. The dimensions of the barber (28 cm x 16 cm x 22 cm) are chosen so that it fits almost every bedside table. The price for the alarm clock with coffee machine will probably be between 275 and 315 euros. So far, the Bariseur has not yet gone into mass production. So we have to wait a little bit.
