A Clever Combination Alarm Clock and Coffee Brewer

The Barisieur Alarm Clock Coffee Brewer by Josh Renouf

London designer Josh Renouf has created The Barisieur, cleverly designed combination alarm clock and coffee brewer. Instead of a jarring alarm, The Barisieur wakes you up with the subtle sound of steel balls jostling in a water boiler — the balls heat the water through induction — and the smell of freshly brewed coffee. The device also features a drawer for coffee grounds and sugar and a vial for milk.

The Barisieur is inspired by a combination of the modern ritual of filter coffee with the iconic vinyl record player, encouraging a nostalgic experience for the user. The design was born with a digital detox in mind, where the design language balances between simplicity and mystified alchemy; watch how the water magically transports from one vessel to other due to steam pressure.
