Breville ikon Combines Tea and Toast (into Teast)
Posted by Mark Wilson at 6:30 AM on May 9, 2008
I doubt that it's all that more space efficient to combine kitchen gadgets, but it can certainly save you a few precious counter plugs. The ikon by Breville combines your toaster with a kettle, the perfect breakfast machine for when your visiting friends from overseas ask for something other than your trademark Egg McMuffin on a plate. At US$130, it's the same price as Breville's LED-gauged standalone toaster. So before dropping any cash, decide if it's more important for you to have hot water or a kitchen that glows as unnaturally bright as your entertainment centre. [product via Techfresh]

@carmen89: But this affords you the convenience of having all of that in one item. Otherwise you will have all that back and forth effort, gadgets are supposed to make life, er, death, easier.

@TOWken22: theres a cheaper way to get both words in one. Sit in a bath tub full of scolding water throw a few tea bags in and a 10 dollar toaster from Big Lots :)

Attaching a water boiling kettle to an electric toaster, hmm. Kevorkian design concept?

Hey. If this is a backside view of the Aluratek Wi-Fi Alarm Clock, then I'd say they might have a winner of a morning wake-up product!

@shamoononon: Just realized that by using this LCD, I'm essentially staring into a florescent light all day long. No wonder my head always hurts...

@TOWken22: However if i just restock my bathroom with the following every month once it's just the same as buying toast, buying tea, filing the kettle with water and waiting. The bathtub and the toaster being thrown in takes a mere few seconds :)

What problem does this solve? Does anyone actually think "hmm, I would like tea with my toast."

@workingonyourinvoice: 1 or 2 liters of IV fluids (plain ringers is best, lactated is bit more work the liver doen't really need just at that moment!) with multi vitamins is the gold standard treatment for a hangover. Being a nurse does have it's advantages!

Sorry, this is nowhere near as cool as the combination toaster / coffee maker / egg poacher I gave my Dad for Father's Day, and it was only $50.00 twenty years ago.

Comment on Breville ikon Combines Tea and Toast (into Teast) You know, I think "Toast-tea" would have been a better play on words. But that's just me.
