De'Longhi Distinta Toaster Review

The De'Longhi Distinta Toaster is a four slice brushed stainless steel toaster inspired by Italian minimalism. It's a stylish toaster, with neatly presented controls and a dark underside for added effect. There's also a matching rapid boil kettle available with a similar style. The pair coordinate well together in a kitchen. There's also a matching coffee machine too.

The features are numerous. They include six notches of browning for toast with your preferred texture and colour, a defrost button for frozen loaves of bread, reheat to warm up cooled down toast, a bagel button which provides optimal toasting for bagels, a high lift toasting lever, integrated cord storage and a pair of removable crumb trays.

About De'Longhi

De'Longhi is a brand of Italian origin. They were formed in 1902, and have a long history of making quality products with stylish Italian designs. Their product range includes kettles, toasters, coffee machines, coffee grinders and more.

Specification

The features are as follows:

• Browning Control - The Distinta Toaster offers six levels of browning. From a gentle tan, to a fuller, deeper and darker crunch, this toaster is able to accommodate. Each pair of slots has its own separate browning dial.
• Defrost / Reheat / Bagel / Cancel - Each pair of slots has these four options. "Defrost" allows the toaster to toast frozen bread, even bread straight from the freezer. "Reheat" provides a quick blast of heat without starting a toasting cycle from scratch. "Bagel" is pre-programmed to evenly toast bagels in the best way possible. "Cancel" stops the toasting midway through.
• High Lift - The toaster has a high lift to allow for the removal of smaller items (e.g. bagels) without burnt fingers.
• Crumb Trays - The toaster is equipped with two crumb trays - one for each pair of slots. They are both easily removable for emptying.
• Cord Storage - Any left over electrical cable can be stored away neatly inside of the toaster so as not to clutter your worktop.
