It’s fair to say, not all toasters are created equal. But the Bugatti Noun is a god amongst toasters, a futurist but elegant combination of glass and chrome that would stand out in any kitchen. And it does more than just toast.

There are entire cookbooks dedicated to preparing meals using only a toaster oven, but most of us only ever use them for reheating pizza. So it seems like kind of a waste to have one sitting on the kitchen counter all the time. Unless it’s the Toastation by Hamilton Beach, which adds traditional toaster functionality to a compact toaster oven, creating an appliance that’s the best of both worlds.

Most people’s first reaction to a toaster with just a single slot is to feel pity on the lonely soul who would need such a device. But that’s the wrong reaction to have here.

We live in the future, so chances are you’ve got all manner of gadgets flashing and beeping at you to remind you what’s happening on any given day. But your toast isn’t in on all that fun.

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a multi-slice toaster lacking an automatic pop-up feature these days. But if you’re toasting non-standard sized baked goods, they can occasionally get trapped requiring you to either risk your life by jamming a knife in there to retrieve them, or upgrading to Ariete’s Toaster Brunch.
