We Want This Awesome Coffee-Making Alarm Clock

Portrait

We’re a pretty satisfied bunch, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t covetous. Sometimes we see things out there that we just must have. Cool Things We Want is an archive of those earthly desires.

Made by London-based designer Joshua Renouf and selling for $445 (USD), all you need to do for prep is add coffee grounds (or tea leaves) to the sleekly stylish Barisieur and set the alarm. When it goes off, it will boil the water and start making you coffee. A long-running dream realized. Available in white or black.

  1. I’m all for spending too much on things I don’t need, but can’t you just put a $30 drip coffee maker beside your bed? I’m pretty sure they’ve had timers on them since the 70’s.

  2. Good point but would you want to *look* at a walmart coffee maker beside your bed?
