As someone who lives and breathes coffee (sometimes quite literally!), I’m always on the lookout for gadgets that can make the experience of brewing and enjoying coffee even more special. At the World of Coffee Expo in Copenhagen, I found one that left me completely captivated: the JoyResolve Barisieur, a coffee brewing alarm clock.
A Chance Encounter That Changed My Mornings
I was wandering through the expo, surrounded by the latest and greatest coffee gear, most of which felt a bit predictable. But then I stumbled upon the Barisieur. Even in a sea of impressive coffee equipment, this elegant machine stopped me in my tracks. It looked like a piece of art—a beautifully crafted bedside barista that promised to wake you up with the aroma and sound of freshly brewed filter coffee. I couldn’t resist taking a closer look.
What Makes the Barisieur So Special?
The Barisieur is not just another coffee gadget. It’s a full sensory experience that transforms your morning routine. Imagine waking up to the gentle sound of bubbling water and the rich smell of freshly brewed coffee, right at your bedside. The machine is designed to make filter coffee—my personal favorite—at the perfect temperature, extracting all the subtle flavors we love in specialty coffee.
Here’s the thing: Mornings can be chaotic. But with the Barisieur, there’s a moment of calm waiting for you. It’s an alarm clock, yes, but also a beautiful ritual-maker that turns waking up into a pleasure.
A Beautiful, Thoughtful Design
As a former architect I’m a sucker for great design, and the Barisieur is a showstopper. Made from hand-blown glass, polished stainless steel, and either walnut or bamboo wood, it’s the kind of piece that elevates any room. It’s minimalistic yet warm, functional yet elegant. The top tray, made of natural wood, doubles as a serving tray—you can lift it, coffee and all, and bring it to the breakfast table if that’s your thing.
Practicality hasn’t been sacrificed for beauty. There’s a built-in milk cooler that keeps cream or milk chilled overnight, so your coffee is ready just the way you like it. There’s even a USB port at the back, perfect for charging your phone. The thoughtful details make this machine more than just a novelty; it’s a genuinely useful part of my morning routine.
Why It’s the Perfect Filter Coffee Maker
I’m pretty picky about how my coffee is brewed, and the Barisieur doesn’t disappoint. Here’s why:
- Optimal Brewing Temperature: The water is rapidly boiled by a built-in induction plate, but as it flows through glass pipes, it cools to just the right temperature for extracting all those beautiful coffee flavors without burning them.
- Even Extraction: The wide showerhead evenly wets the grounds, ensuring a balanced, flavorful cup.
- Fine Stainless Steel Filter: While I usually prefer paper filters, I was impressed with the fine stainless steel mesh that lets only a tiny amount of coffee fines through, preserving a clean taste while being more eco-friendly.
I found that two scoops of filter-ground coffee worked perfectly for my tastes, and the brew time clocked in just under four minutes. The result? A deliciously smooth and aromatic cup, right from my bedside table.
My Personal Experience with the Barisieur
I was so smitten with the Barisieur that I bought one on the spot, even though my family already thinks I have way too many coffee gadgets at home. For the next few weeks, it became my go-to coffee maker. It wasn’t just about the convenience—it was genuinely fun to use. I found myself brewing more coffee than usual, just to enjoy the ritual of it. Pressing the “Make” button and watching the magic happen became a small but meaningful joy in my day.
Eventually, I decided to bring the Barisieur into our café (Cafe Lounge) in Carrick-on-Shannon to share the experience with our customers. If you’re ever in the area, you’re welcome to come by and see it in action. We’ll brew you a cup with any Artessa coffee you choose, and you can experience for yourself how this beautiful machine elevates the coffee ritual.
A Gift for Coffee Lovers (or Yourself)
The Barisieur isn’t cheap, but it’s a worthwhile investment for anyone who loves the ritual of coffee as much as I do. It’s the kind of gift that makes waking up feel special, whether for yourself or a coffee lover in your life. Plus, as the exclusive distributor of the Barisieur in Ireland, we’re proud to offer this unique piece to our Artessa community.
Elevate your mornings with the Barisieur. Order yours today and experience the joy of waking up to the perfect cup of coffee.
I hope my story inspires you to rethink your morning routine. Sometimes, a little bit of luxury is exactly what we need to start the day on the right note. If you’d like to see the Barisieur in person or learn more about our Artessa coffee, I’d love to welcome you to our café!
Cheers to better mornings, one cup at a time.
