Attractive in several ways, you can just stand in one place and make coffee, cook two eggs, and toast bread or a muffin. You're not running around and dealing with several different containers, pots, devices, etc. Actually makes two eggs with a bit of scramble (don't scratch the egg pan!) into a cute flop-out circular mcdonald's type of egg 'thing'. Use a good amount of butter and it is really non-stick. Toasting takes more time than normal (limited wattage because all 3 heaters must operate from one plug) but works very well. The TIMER is great for people who forget to turn off things; you are assured you did not leave the egg or the toast on forever, it takes care of itself. You can use a paper filter instead of the white plastic coffee filter if you wish, just push it in all around after removing the white filter. It's sort of like camping in the kitchen (or whereever you have it).
