Bread toaster, coffee maker and hot plate, all in the "Wake Up Morning Set"

As we all know only very well, Japan is one of the most technologically advanced countries in this world, the number of innovative products launched on the market by Japanese companies every year being absolutely huge. And we're not talking here just about computers, gaming consoles, TVs, digital cameras etc., but also about everyday products for home use. And one of the most interesting devices made in Japan I've come across lately is the so called "Wake Up Morning Set", a very useful multi-functional device that combines an electric grill, a bread toaster and an automatic coffee maker machine.

As you can plainly see, this device is aimed at creating the perfect American breakfast. One can use the electric grill to make some bacon and eggs (or whatever else he/she might desire, for that matter), the toaster to make some toast bread (or heat up some leftovers from yesterday's diner, if you're in a hurry), all of these while waiting for that perfect cup of coffee that jump-starts you in the morning. Moreover, this device carries out its breakfast making duties quite rapidly, since the fried eggs are ready in around 10-12 minutes, the toast in 3-5 minutes, while the coffee is ready in around 2 minutes.

Another interesting thing about the "Wake Up Morning Set" is its control system. Thus, the user can either start all the functions at the same time, or use them separately, according to his/her personal needs, thus making it a very interesting addition to one's army of kitchen appliances. However, the device does have a problem, namely it consumes a huge amount of power (around 1,140W) when all 3 functions are switched on. Not sure about the availability, but - according to the Japanese site Impress Watch - it won't be too expensive, just around 40 US dollars, which makes it quite affordable for all the people who don't want to waste too much time preparing their breakfast in the morning.
