Toast Printer

A toaster that doubles as a printer, how genius is this in both design and functionality?

The print toaster, which connects to your computer through a USB connection, can “print” any image or graphics that you’d like onto the bread, during the toasting incubation period. The toast printer appropriately titled, “Printing your Toast,” was designed by a Swedish man by the name of Othmar Muehlebach. His design recently placed second at the 2009 Berner Design Awards.

There is also no need to worry about your toast getting cold anymore, as this toast printer operates much like a typical inkjet printer and prints in succession. Except in this case the printer is actually the toaster, the paper the bread, and the ink has been substituted for heat and coils. Much like an inkjet printer, this toast printer “feeds” its bread into the bread tray. That way you have warm slices of bread coming one after another!

Toast Messenger

Have you ever been running late in the morning, and you remember at the last second that you need them to “pick up the kids from school today”? Well now there is no need to have that ugly white board on the refrigerator anymore, simply jot down a quick message on the Message Toaster, and it’ll do the rest.

The Message Toaster was designed by Sasha Tseng, and provides a message pad to write quick or  important notes which can be shared with others. After you write down the note on the pad, you can make certain that your message will find it’s intended recipient by burning the message directly onto the bread.  That way when your significant other wakes up to the smell of warm toast in the morning and thinks to themselves, “now I remember why I married them,” they will be sure to see your message and quickly realize that you had alternative motives!
