Sure the toaster is a standard addition to any kitchen counter, but if you’re a die-hard breakfast fan like we are, or perhaps you’re wanting to upgrade your appliances to make your kitchen more aesthetically pleasing, then you’ll be pleased to know that toaster technology is not what it used to be. 

Long gone are the days for a simple white block that may or may not burn your bread before setting the kitchen alarm off and leaving the kids (or yourself) hungry for the day. Now there are endless high-tech and stylish options on the market. 

From touch screens to multiple slice toasting capabilities, the varieties and options to choose from are truly endless, and this doesn’t mean you have to break the bank to find a more than basic appliance. 

Below, we have taken the liberty of rounding up our favourite toasters to shop in Australia. So read on and get to toasting.
