If you, like most Americans, reach for a cup of coffee the minute you open your bleary, still-half-asleep eyes every day, your mornings just got a whole lot more caffeinated. Up the cool factor of your alarm clock by a million percent (at least!) with the super-stylish Barisieur coffee maker, which wakes you up at your designated time with the gentle, bubbling sound of water-it comes to a boil in as little as three minutes-followed by the heavenly aroma of fresh coffee brewing just for you.

Set it up the night before, and come morning, you’ll actually be excited to roll out of bed just to watch the handsome mechanism at work: The steampunk-like glassware setup looks like a fancy science experiment and rests on a real walnut-wood tray. The base even contains a refrigerated compartment to store the milk, so you have everything you need for a hot, delicious pick-me-up before your feet even touch the cold floor. Who could hit the snooze button with their own personal bedside barista working such magic? (It can also make loose-leaf tea, if coffee isn’t your cuppa.)

Created by British designer Joshua Renouf, the Barisieur was originally launched on Kickstarter before making it big with the help of Virgin entrepreneur Richard Branson; Renouf now partners with high-style hotel chains like the Four Seasons and Ace Hotels. At $445, it doesn’t come cheap-but of course, brilliance rarely does. Guess who just became a morning person?
