Rubberwood, walnut alarm clock wakes you up with fresh coffee

Produced by British designer Josh Renouf, the Barisieur is an alarm clock that wakes you up with fresh coffee or tea.
 
Featuring a tray made of either walnut or rubberwood, the Barisieur utilizes a centralized milk vessel in its base - cooling milk to 37 degrees and detecting its presence with an infrared sensor. An induction coil is used to boil water in borosilicate glassware on the tray.
 
A retro digital display tells the time and sets the alarm, and a sealed drawer stores coffee and tea.
 
Renouf raised over $700,000 for his alarm clock coffee maker on Kickstarter after it went viral. Launching the Kickstarter in May 2016 with a goal of $474,000, Renouf was able to raise over $125,000 in just six hours, but still had a long way to go. 
 
Only a week remained before the end of the campaign and Renouf still had $150,000 to go. Kickstarter noticed and made the Barisieur the 'Project of the Day' and the goal was met.
