On some early mornings, particularly Mondays, there’s an incredible logic-defying force that brings me out of the cozy comfort of soft sheets and quilted safety and into the harsh bleak grey light of a long day whereupon I find myself already behind in my morning tasks. I don’t know how it all happens and perhaps questioning its origination may undermine the system entirely - which I dare not do. However, I am a firm supporter of all tricks and gadgetry that make weekday mornings just a little more pleasant. In the storybooks mornings look great! They’ve got sunshine creeping over a grassy hill and coming in through the windows in that special non-blinding sort of way and birds sing melodically as if to herald another day of your presence, how grand! While my bucolic transition to the rural paradise won’t be happening any time soon, there is a new gadget out there that might just do the trick. The Barisieur is an alarm clock that wakes you up with a cup of coffee. It’s okay to cry, it’s a beautiful thing. Created by Nottingham Trent University student Joshua Renouf as his final project, the Barisieur holds small stainless steel ballbearings that boil the water through induction heating. Buzzes be gone! A scent of freshly brewed coffee is so lovely it would be hard NOT to get up and reach for your cup. If you’re not a coffee person, that’s weird… but The Barisieur will make you tea instead! Right now it’s still in development, but you can find out more about this gadget with an estimated retail price of £250 on Josh’s design site here.
