The Best Part of Waking Up, is Folgers in Your.... Alarm Clock?

Rockapella would be ashamed.

Today a little bit of news from the "WTF?" category.  A lot of us here at Stardock are caffeine junkies of one persuasion or another.  We take our energy-jolting beverages very seriously here and have a ready supply of cola and an excellent selection of coffee to jump start us in the morning and keep us going far into the day.  Of course, we're not addicted or anything, it's not like our very existence is maintained through these stimulating supplements. 

So given our heavy... bias towards things like coffee, this one made some of us chuckle.... an alarm clock that dispenses the SMELL of freshly brewed coffee.

The Aroma Alarm Clock Radio puts forth a burst of fresh coffee scent when the alarm goes off.  For a coffee addic... I mean aficionado, there's nothing better than waking up to the smell of a fresh pot.  And nothing worse than the crushing disappointment to realize there is in fact no fresh pot of coffee waiting for you in the kitchen.

It's more of a caffeine junkie torture device when you think about it.

I was thinking that same thing. Why would someone do that to them self? Do they hate their life that much that they need to be punished for every day they wake up?

I don't drink coffee. It hates me and I'm glad I don't need it. My husband can't get going with out it.

Why not skip a step and have one of those coffee pots that brews at a certain time.  My father has too much money for his own good and has a system that at X time grinds and brews in the morning.  When he gets a little older . .  I'm going to tag that.

Could be replaced by a Murphy-in-a-door bed and a garage-door spring that catapults the occupant from the bed at the preset time. Aligned with residence front door for proper feng-shui, of course...

Thank god I can't smell!

My birth parents have the same thing but, their bank gave it to them. You can get a factory refurb for $65 Cdn, which is to far off of a good brewer.

It's a great idea for those who like the coffee smell but don't care to drink it. Then you can wake up to the coffee smell without the expense of brewing coffee and dumping it down the drain.

At first I thought how cool,then,yeah I realized that WOULD kinda suck.    
I got the java syndrome so bad the first thing I do in the morning is walk to the bathroom,run hot water(really hot),add cream,sugar and Nescafe classico to it and then come here.  

TTC(time to coffee)...about 30 seconds.The coffee   and fixins are about 2 feet from the bathroom door.

Tea nice and strong all day long until around 2:00 pm or I can't get to sleep early enough. The caffeine uptake isn't rapid (it won't jolt ya) and, it's steady no up and then crash, and it's easier on the tummy. If I were addicted to coffee instead that alarm clock would last one maybe two nights tops before it would become a built-in wall ornament.

Now all they need to do is add the smell of bacon and eggs. Then I can walk out the front door with my pop-tart and be really pissed off for the rest of the day.
