This state-of-the-art alarm clock will wake you up and prepare a hot cup of java at the same time. Settings allow users to adjust the time the Barisieur begins sounding an alarm and also the time it begins making the cup of joe.

The machine boils the water, grinds the coffee beans and pours the finished product directly into the user's cup or mug of choice. There's even an easily removable drawer for sugar and a compartment to hold fresh milk.

The Barisieur was created by Joshua Renouf, who graduated last year from Nottingham Trent University with a degree in industrial and product design. Unfortunately, the invention isn't available for purchase yet, but you can send a request for the product here.
