Update: This magical coffee-making alarm clock is finally becoming a reality! You can preorder it on Indiegogo [1] for $299 (compared to retail price of $420), and it's expected to ship in September 2017. The newest iteration of the product hasn't changed so much from the original concept, except now there's a white model available as well.

Original story: Who wouldn't want a fresh cup of coffee the moment they start their day? Josh Renouf [2], a very talented product designer, created a new gadget that every tech and coffee junkie has dreamed about. Introducing the sleek and elegantly designed Barisieur [3], which serves as both an alarm clock and a coffee- (and tea-) brewing system.

While in school, Josh wanted to create a product that could be tangible and useful. "In the morning, people are complaining about 'Ooohhh it's Monday' or 'not work again.' I thought this could bring people happiness to their mornings, give them something to look forward to, and who does not like to wake up to a fresh cup of coffee or tea in the morning?" he explained.
