U.K.-based industrial designer Josh
Renouf has come up with what just might be the king of alarm clocks. His
“Barisieur” alarm clock -turned-coffee-machine will automatically brew a

The coffee maker heats the water and
brews the coffee all by itself – all you have to do is load it up the
night before. Interestingly, Renouf points out that this preparation
process may actually help users fall asleep at night; “It encourages a ritual before going to sleep, signalling to the body and mind that it is time to unwind and relax,” he writes on his website
