Personally, we need something a
little
more aggressive to get us out
of the bed each morning, but if soothing scents are enough to get you going, AbioGenesis' Aroma Waker may just do it for
you (and it could do it for us as well, if they included some really foul smells to make us flee the bedroom in horror).
Looks like just a concept design for now, but we look forward to seeing someone come up with a homebrew version using a
coffee pot with a built-in timer (hey, can we patent that?).

If one of the scents available was 'dankalicious kryp buds' then I would buy one for sure. Nothing like the smell of some dank to wake you up in the morning.

Why don't they just include an actual alarm in it? Then it would be useful, you could have an alarm clock that freshens the air with coffee smell, which I can tell you is what gets me going in the morning (and the rest of the people that this thing is meant for). I doubt its as good as the real thing though, and probably lacks that wonderful 'kick'. Ah, Starbucks, you are my savior!

Oh, wait! If any one patents, and gets rich, this you have to build me prototype of #1's comments. (real dank , of course!)

I already have a coffee maker with a clock and an alarm on it. It's not so much the smell that wakes me up as it is the incredibly loud grinder.

I would definately not recoment this clock for anyone that has to get up at 12:00 and likes to slap the snooze button...

hammacher schlemmer has had a similar product for a while now, it also uses ambient light to wake you. pretty cool if it works well. i haven't tried it.

Where's the snooze button?

If they had a scent of say..."Electrical Fire", THAT would get you out of bed in a hurry!
