'Hotel vibes' coffee hack raises eyebrows as experts warn of sleep quality risks
Some people wake up and smell the coffee immediately — thanks to a quick fix they claim gives "hotel vibes." Yet some experts say it's grounds for concern. "Does anyone or would anyone put a small coffee maker in their bedroom like Nespresso hotel vibes?" one woman asked in a recent post in a Facebook group for coffee lovers. She was apparently considering getting one of the single-serve espresso machines, sharing in the comments, "I'm so lazy and our kitchen is so cold." Several members of the group were on board. "Great idea now that I'm retired," one person commented. "I will probably do this while I'm postpartum," one expectant mother wrote. "Make a cup of coffee and curl up in bed?" another woman replied. "A thousand percent yes." "I used to keep a small Keurig in my bedroom," added another, referring to the single-serve coffee maker. "It was set up like a hotel room with a fridge and microwave as well." Reddit users shared similar feelings in a channel on espresso machines. One said having it in the bedroom gives "that 5-star hotel room feel." "I make mine instantly once I get out of bed," another person said. Another person confessed to brewing a shot of espresso before going to sleep. In a post on the blog Apartment Therapy, the writer spilled the beans on finally giving into her dream of having an espresso machine in her bedroom. She bought a miniature one that, at only 8 inches tall, wouldn't turn her "bedroom into a coffee house," she said. "It's the epitome of a little luxury, particularly when I'm still in my pajamas and not yet immersed in the hustle of the day," she added. The hack also saves her a few minutes each morning and forces her to sip her coffee on the balcony attached to her bedroom. The drawbacks, she said, include needing to go to the kitchen to get milk or throw out the dirty pods. But experts say the real harm can be to people's internal circadian clocks and sleep quality. "Maintaining a consistent transition ritual, such as walking to the kitchen for coffee, supports healthy circadian entrainment and behavioral patterning," New York sleep scientist Daniel Gartenberg, Ph.D., founder of SleepSpace, told Fox News Digital. He said he recommends drinking coffee one to two hours after waking up because of the impact it has on adenosine, a neuromodulator that helps regulate the urge to sleep, and cortisol, a hormone involved in wakefulness and stress. Wendy Troxel, Ph.D., a Utah-based senior scientist at the RAND Corporation, said that while she understands the convenience and feeling of "luxury" behind having a coffee maker in the bedroom, it could also encourage more frequent caffeine consumption – which can negatively impact sleep quality. "The bedroom is ideally a space reserved for rest," Troxel told Fox News Digital. "Introducing stimulating activities like brewing or drinking coffee can blur the boundaries between sleep and wakefulness, leading to an increased risk of sleep disruptions," said Troxel, author of the book "Sharing the Covers: Every Couple's Guide to Better Sleep." "Even just the lingering aroma of coffee could signal alertness." She recommends investing in comfy sheets, plush bedding or even a hotel-brand mattress to replicate a luxury overnight experience.

This $60 Coffee Maker Brews Hot *And* Iced Coffee
When it's too hot to drink that regular pot of morning brew (like, say, right now), consider having your wake-up call over ice instead. We found a reasonably-priced pod coffee maker at Amazon that many are saying 'works better than a Keurig,' and, more importantly, brews delicious coffee over ice without melting it away. It's got buttons for hot and cold coffee, one for a bolder roast, an auto-clean function and a huge water tank. And cooly, it also offers something most pod machines don't: a reusable pod filter ready for regular coffee beans. So many users have ditched their Keurig in favor of this space-saving hot and iced pod coffee machine. According to one reviewer, 'it has saved me a ton of money since I stopped taking daily trips to the local coffee shop!' Sleek, super fast, awesome — these are all words reviewers are using to describe this Keurig coffee machine alternative. Similar to those ultra-convenient K-Cup machines, this one brews 6-, 8-, 10-, 12-, and 14-ounce coffees. But unlike the name brand version, this also offer something most pod coffee machines do not: reusable filter cups. That means you brew Keurig-branded cups or tuck your own ground coffee (or tea!) into one and make a custom cup of Joe to your liking, no additional plastic waste 50-ounce water tank is removable so you can fill it under a facet (or, as coffee purists will tell you, using clean water from a filter) and easily clean it as needed. It also has an auto-clean function to minimize buildup with the tap of a button. Perhaps best of all, though, is its iced coffee function. Just load the machine with coffee as you regularly would, then place a cup of ice underneath its spout and tap the 'over ice' heads up, this means that the coffee will still come out warm just as it does at a real coffee shop, but the brew and temperature are adjusted with this setting to create a cooler-than-usual cup meant to prevent your ice (sold separately, obviously) from melting away. Whether iced or hot coffee, though, the main point is that several reviewers attest to this machine's coffee tasting delicious. Check out the coffee machine folks are saying beats out the Keurig and save money by skipping those coffee shop trips. Also, read on for promising reviews from happy, highly caffeinated coffee drinkers below. Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in three colors).
