The main concern is the size of your bedside coffee machine if it’s going to fit on a nightstand. It needs to be small, and many programmable filter coffee machines are the big, ten or more cup variety with a large jug or carafe, designed to sit in kitchens rather than bedrooms. Some coffee makers let you choose regular or bold strengths and adjust the temperature. This is something to think about if you prefer customized settings. This machine even features a 5V USB port for charging your smartphone and can be upgraded with an optional wireless smart charger. The Barisieur only brews one cup of coffee at a time, which is not ideal if two people in the same bedroom want to wake up with coffee.

The brew size is another consideration. Some people like to brew single cups, while others find it more convenient to make a large pot of coffee. Wireless internet connectivity has given us the Internet of Things, making increasingly sophisticated automation possible—from voice-activated home assistants to kettles, fridges and other appliances controlled from your smartphone.The early 20th century also saw domestic electricity bringing big changes in home technology. By the end of the 1930s, two-thirds of British homes had electricity, which meant an automatic cup of tea no longer involved sleeping next to an open flame. Some traditional drip coffee makers have auto-brew settings that allow you to schedule your joe up to 24 hours in advance. These don’t necessarily look or feel as fancy as other machines would, but if your primary goal is to wake up to fresh coffee, these machines get the job done. Size is important for two different reasons. First, the size of the actual coffee maker is a consideration, so make sure it will fit in your space. This includes whether it's able to fit when placed under an overhead cabinet. Be sure to account for having enough space to open the water tank and coffee filter compartments, too. Alternatively, choose a compact bean to cup machine that will start grinding coffee beans at the pre-selected time, which ought to wake even the most sleepy people up. Such bean to cup machines then process the freshly ground coffee and take it through the brewing process automatically.

Unfortunately, we can’t answer that for you. What we can do, though, is tell you what we like and dislike about this machine. Hopefully, our input helps you decide for yourself whether or not Renouf’s invention belongs in your bedroom. What We Like: Coffee in Bed Drinking morning java is a sacred routine for many of us. Morning is the time to collect your thoughts and prepare for the day. That sounds good, but wouldn’t it be better if you could do that from the comfort of your bed?The Wolf Gourmet Programmable Coffee Maker is the most expensive option on our list, but it also has the most features. In addition to being programmable, it uses Accu-Brew technology: the built-in scale weighs the coffee grounds you add, and the LED display indicates when you need to add more grounds — or if too much has been added. This is a good option for those who want an espresso from their nightstand coffee maker rather than the drip, pour over or filter coffee that is commonly made by programmable machines. The Barisieur is well made and can be used to brew coffee at any time. This unique machine is versatile and can be used for brewing teas, especially with the optional immersion brewer attachment.
