Wake Up to An Alarming Juice, Toast, and Coffee
Ou de chocolat! The one time I was in France in my life, I stayed at a nice place of lodging just down the street from the Moulin Rouge (no lies!) And in this place of lodging, every morning, we were served toast and a choice of “café, tea, ou de chocolate.” And with the “Wake Up” alarm, that’s just the choices you’ll get. Every morning. Automatically.
These designers design in French, so you’ll notice I took the liberty of keeping their original instructional notes in French with an English translation below. This project hardly needs instructions, however, as the whole thing is basically intuitive.
Set your alarm.
Make sure whatever you’d like to have ready in the morning is set up (make sure the toaster is loaded, that the juice, coffee, and/or chocolate are in their respective slots.)
Click the buttons for the items you’d like made.
Wake up the next morning to a Yanko approved breakfast!
*MY MISTAKE! This project offers Juice in place of the Tea from my story. But I’m sure you could jury-rig it to whip you up some fine chai.
Designer: De Dietrich

I notice that on the last slide there are two people, but the alarm only cooks for one. Will they fight over who gets the toast?
Dave says
You pay them to leave…

Why poor the juice in to a container to get it in to another container and then in to the final container (the glass), when you can just poor it in to the glass?
Nice design overall, but not so thought through… How is the juice going to be stored first of all, and secondly: how dose it go from the bottom container in to the caraff?
Hmm….
R says
My mistake, i saw the “glass” as a container
Still, the question of how its stored and preserved as well as how it goes from the bottom to the glass (travelling upwards) is not explained at all to me

Instant orange juice!!!!!!!!! Instant coffee!!!!!!!!!! OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!

Unfortunately (for me), with the way I usually wake up (aimlessly slapping at the snooze button), that juice would probably be all over the floor by the third beep.
Cool idea, though. Maybe if I could have a separate alarm wirelessly trigger the breakfast station, that might save some of my food!

Pretty handy for hotels…

Dude…this is just a futuristic bread-warming Teasmade. They’ve been around forever (1891-ish!), and are extremely British.

Where do U buy IT???????
Dan says
Yet another concept for people with special needs.
Any true designer would see that the issue to solve here is time management. If a person has to pre-load the device at night to save time in the morning, the problem isn’t solved with yet another appliance, it is maybe solved by getting to bed earlier. Then, maybe, the person can get up in time to serve a proper, fresh breakfast the next day. And don’t forget, the stupid appliance would have to be cleaned the next day. An unnecessary task added to a “busy” schedule.
