    I've got one of these and while it's great fun, I just can't use it as intended: the truth is, when loaded and ready to go it makes my bedroom smell of coffee. And that creates such a strong "It's time to get up!" sense impulse that I just can't go to sleep. Also the milk fridge is a smidge too noisy for a bedroom gadget, for me.
    What I end up using it for is making coffee after I wake up when I'm having a Sunday lie-in. If you're doing that you can keep the coffee in a sealed container until you need it (so it doesn't make the room smell like a café). That way I can have a half decent coffee in bed without tipping off the kids that we're awake.
    This makes it a very expensive and niche solution to a problem I basically had to invent. So, no different from the rest of my coffee gear, really.

    When I was going to University, every evening, I would set up my little percolator on the floor next to my bed. I had a cup with a lid on it, and my milk and sugar would go into that. When the alarm went off, I would hit snooze, roll over, and plug in the percolator. By the time the alarm went off again, my coffee was ready, I poured it into my cup, stirred it, and I had coffee without even getting out of bed. It wasn't boutique coffee, but this was the early 1980's, before all that. I thought it was decadent, and it got me through school.

    So I commented that I’d love to see your review of this, I actually went to uni with the designer and this was his final year project. It’s really interesting and cool to see how far it’s come and it’s changed a bit. The heating method seems different but looks wise it’s still kept the same aesthetic.
    But you essentially said all the things I might have guessed. Expensive for what it is and not quite sure who it’s aimed at and coffee could be better. We all even made the teasmaid comparison 7 years ago at uni.

    When i lived in student accomodations i had a small moccamaster and a lamp connected through a power plug timer. Set it to go off 5 mins before my alarm. Already had the moccamaster and the lamp, and the timer cost me ~11 euros. Waking up to a lit room that smelled of coffee made the start of the day that little bit easier during the cold polar night.

Basically, the only time the alarm would wake me would be if I'd gone to bed at 2am when I needed to be up at 7.

    James, also in the target "can't be arsed to make coffee in the evening". Because a good vacuum mug will keep coffee well enough hot to be enjoyable. A while back I'd measured my Zojirushi mug, pre-warmed, 80C in at 10PM, 54C out at 8AM. Zoj mugs start under 30 gbp for the smallest ones (480ml), they seal *extremely* well so they're excellent travel mugs (can be thrown in a bag if locked), and they also works for cool liquids in summer.

    I learnt how to make my perfect coffee with my £10 cafatiere after watching 'The Ultimate French Press Technique' & I've never been able to get the same satisfaction from any other method, despite spending a few thousand £ over the years on different coffee machines. To overcome the laborious task of making it in the mornings I bought a £30 salter coffee maker with a timer but I don't use it for its intended purpose; I use it only for the hot water & timer - I fill up the machine with water just before bed & put my freshly ground coffee in the recepticle, not the filter. This has changed my life and I wake up in heaven every morning. Sometimes the sound wakes me up before my (seperate) alarm which I set for 5 min after the machine has poured the water (it takes 4 mins), but I love the sound and just lying there anticipating. I press snooze on my alarm & then without leaving my bed I gently stir the crust and then chill or snooze for 8 mins before pouring my coffee - it's an ethereal moment which I experience every morning and never, ever take this luxury for granted x

However, I will say that as an adult I wouldn't find much use for the same kit. I also wouldn't pay closing in on ten times as much as I did for a beige bakelite brick (it really was a chonker) just to have cold milk to add in to my hot coffee.
    As an aside, I cannot express how much joy it brings me to imagine James asking someone "So I'm being sponsored, and I want to spend all of that money on renting the fanciest, most ludicrous looking, brutalist design home set, and I want *you* to dress up as my butler."

      I did my thesis with a Hamilton Beach programmable coffee pot on one side of my studio and my alarm clock on the other. Forced me to get up, and I had coffee as a reward. Cost less than a tenth of this unit, and is absolutely how I managed to get thru my senior year. I would have never put it bedside, tho-it clogged and overflowed WAY too often.
      Still. I think there’s absolutely a huge market for the AWAKE COFFEE NOW crowd. Just…not at $500 a unit.

    I don't care about the product but I must say that video is great. The setting, the gestures and facial expressions of both the buttler and you James. Simply great. Thanks a lot.

    In order to drink coffee immediately after waking up, you can buy a thermos to brew coffee before going to bed, pour it into a thermos, as you wake up to drink coffee from a thermos.

    First off, I love everything about this video. Second, that simply can't be what your hair looks like in the morning. Third, and most important 'miss' if this video, is all that prep, cost and expense for a too small of a coffee aside, how on earth do you clean it?! My kitchen is practically on the moon from my bedroom. The thought of carrying all the bits down for cleaning and back up later when dried is FAR more effort than that first cup would be worth.

    In 2005, I was a teenager and I had this time switch. And a Coffee mashine. And guess what - it made a whole can of coffe at exactly the right time and a reasonably taste, considdering the 15 Bugs I spent. Who needs this ugly beeping sound if you have this brewing sound and the smell of freshly brewed Coffee next to your bed? Thank you for bringing these good memories back to my mind :)))

    I did back this on Kickstarter, and mostly use it to make tea, rather than coffee - I definitely agree with James here, the coffee it makes is pretty unremarkable.
    Waking up to a little tea, though, is quite nice :)
