The coffee alarm clock

Whats better than having your first cup of coffee in the morning? Being woken up with a cup made for you by this fancy new coffee alarm clock.

If black coffee leaves you cold, there is a milk vessel that keeps your milk cool in the night and mixes it for you so that your cup is exactly how you want it when the timer goes off and you open your eyes.

For the purists

This new machine is billed one of the worlds narrowest fully automatic bean to cup machines. Called the Melitta Puristam, it is great for super-slim kitchens where space is a commodity.

It has a one touch feature that includes a favourite coffee memory, is easy cleaning and a modern looking LED display.

Its also really quiet (bonus for early morning brewing) and has a pump feature that lets water flow more slowly through the coffee, which is supposed to improve the coffee extraction.

There is a double cup mode which means you can make two coffees at the same time too.
