The Barisieur is only slightly less gimmicky than the Wake N Bacon alarm clock from a 2008. This Kickstarter campaign has 5 days left go to at the time of writing and is $190,000 short of it’s $555,000 goal.

Unlike it’s bacon predecessor there would be no raw pork scent wafting over your face as you sleep. Instead the grounds would rest in the pour-over style filter waiting for the alarm to boil the water in the beaker to the left. There is even a cooler in the center to keep your milk/cream chilled until morning.

It is going for around $390 in the kick starter campaign right now. Though for that kind of money I’d get something else. Personally I’d opt for either an espresso machine, or something that makes more than 1 cup at a time. A good coffee dripper for less than $20, or larger 10 cup Chemex Coffeemaker for less than $50.
