Morphy Richards Verve Toaster Review

The Morphy Richards Verve Toaster is a modern four slice toaster with features such as deep/wide slots, full control over your toast's browning, automatic pop up, a removable crumb tray and defrost. It has a modern exterior, although it's heavily inspired by artisan pottery and ceramics, as evidenced by the indented textured pattern.

The Verve Toaster is available in black, white (pictured) and cream. There's also a matching kettle available, as well as a pour over filter coffee machine, which is ideal if you're looking to coordinate your kitchen. The mix of traditional ceramic with modern curves and shiny stainless steel make the toaster (and its matching items) suitable for both modern and classic kitchen themes.

About Morphy Richards

Morphy Richards began selling small appliances in 1936. They're a British brand, but they do export to other countries. They sell kettles, toasters, slow cookers, filter coffee machines, soup makers, microwaves, and more. They're a well known brand, and are definitely a household name.

Specification

Let's take a look at the features:

• Slots - 4 Slices.
• Variable Browning - The Verve Toaster has seven different levels of browning. They range from a soft crispy brown to golden brown to a much darker crunchy brown.
• Deep / Wide Slots - The slots are deep to allow the entire slice to be well toasted. It's also suitable for large slices of bread. The slots have an adjustable width for thicker and thinner slices.
• Automatic Pop Up - Once finished, the toast will pop out of the toaster automatically. The slices will pop out to a height that ensures no burnt fingertips.
• Frozen / Reheat / Cancel - "Frozen" will defrost frozen bread quickly. "Reheat" will heat up your toast without completely re-toasting it. "Cancel" will stop the toasting midway though. These buttons will illuminate whilst active.
• Removable Crumb Trays - Each pair of slots has its own crumb tray underneath. Both of these trays are removable, which is useful for cleaning.
• Cord Storage - If there's any extra wire, it can be stored underneath the toaster so as not to clutter up your worktops.
