As soon as I saw the $150 (most expensive) version of the Nostalgia Retro 3-in-1 Family Size Electric Breakfast Station I knew I had to have it. I never had an Easy Bake Oven as a kid and I needed something to cook in my room during this Covid madness ASAP. As a food writer, photographer and reviewer, not having a place to cook food was killing me.Product testing did not start off well when water started to spill all around the coffee carafe. Turns out there was an unaccounted for plastic teaspoon in the water basin! Once I removed it, I never had problems with making coffee again. I have not had issues with pouring coffee either, like some people have said.The griddle needs some time to get hot but once it does, it is quite hot! If you check out my pancakes photo the middle and right side do tend to run hotter. There is no controlling the heat so you have to pay attention. Having the glass lid to control splatter is a must for me since I used it to make bacon and did not want that spraying all over my bedroom.I made pancakes, French toast, sausages, bacon… I love using the toaster oven to warm up bread, muffins, pieces of pizza… Having that warm function is fantastic!The breadcrumb tray is slightly slanted and man this sucker was impossible to get out of the box without destroying it but overall, I absolutely LOVE it! Now that it is safe to use my kitchenette again I will use this as my bedroom bistro to make paninis, coffee and heat up my food. I realized after I stopped being able to breathe because of the smoke from the bacon that cooking in the winter with the windows shut in Canada is probably best avoided if possible. That said, this is perfect for people living in small spaces who need to make food.I was not sure the coffee maker required a paper filter but from the instructions I deduced that the filter it comes with is fine on its own. You can find a complete review with even more photos on my site Suzie The Foodie. Overall, it is not 100% perfect (check the water basin for that damn teaspoon!) but it more than delivers. Definitely worth $150 during the pandemic and I look forward to taking it with me on my future foodie adventures. I love this little unit deeply.

It’s perfect for cooking.little meals. Also.compact and will cut down on electricity vs. oven and microwave. We all know how expensive it is these days! 5/5EDIT:AFTER THE FIRST USE, THE COFFEE OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE TOP AND WONT GO INTO THE POT, CREATING A HORRIBLE MESS THAT IM NOT EQUIPPED TO HANDLE AT 4:30 AM.Today, I turkey basted it off the counter and out of the filter into my cup, only after contemplating pouring cream and sugar directly into the counter and grabbing a straw.This is not the best part of waking up.

Es muy prÃ¡ctico si vives en un espacio reducido o solo quieres cocinar para ti. TambiÃ©n es Ãºtil cuando tu compaÃ±Ãa de gas hace mantenimiento. FÃ¡cil de manejar, lo que no me agrada tanto es el cable de alimentaciÃ³n elÃ©ctrica, ya que es muy delgado y hay que tener cuidado. de que este conectado correctamente a una toma de corriente. El diseÃ±o es compacto y muy atractivo, las piezas son de gran calidad. Se pude tener un desayuno rico y divertido.

Highly recommend
Itâs a sharp looking little station- itâs easy to use- cooks evenly – fits perfectly on the mini fridge- quiet- and the little coffee pot is a cool feature- I really did cook a whole meal on this thing- totally worth the money. Just a brilliant gadget .

Great 3-in-1 Griddle + Oven + Coffee Maker for Car Camping or Hotel.
I was looking for an Oven + Cooking station to carry in my car trunk when I go camping and sleep in the car.I was hesitating between the Teal Elite Gourmet Americana 2-Slice and the Red Nostalgia BST3RR. Both are small 3-in-1.I’ve bought both to compare them as I felt that there was not enough information on the product pages.First impressions:The Teal Americana is smaller and the coffee maker feels low-end plasticky.The Teal Americana has only one burner top and one bottom, where the Red Americana has two heating elements in the same positions.At first glance, I really liked that the Red Americana’s griddle is the entire size of the oven: any bacon grease splatter will stay on the griddle, while it will land on the teal body on the other one. After using the Teal Americana during a trip, there is no bacon grease spatter due to the glass cover.Both are cute and playful. You want to make something to play with it… very fun toys.The buttons of the Red Nostalgia have a flat portion: one knows where they point to. The Teal Americana has round buttons with a minuscule indentation. I had to paint a white line on them to be able to see where they point.The coffee pot of the Teal Americana looked more secure in a moving car due to its 3 walls, but in the end, it’s the Red Nostalagia carafe which is held stronger by the pressure of the no-drip ball.The oven rack of the Teal Americana is tied to the door and moves slightly with the door is opened. The Red Americana is independent of the door and has two positions (one for Teal Americana).Dimensions / Measurements: Length (similar): 19″ for the Red Nostalgia vs 18.5″ for the Teal Americana.Body depth (Teal Americana is way smaller): 7.3″ for Teal AmericanaBackspace needed (when water tank open): similarHeight: similar.Griddle Volume: Big surprising difference: the big Red Nostalgia’s griddle is very flat and shallow. I was only able to pour 200 milliliter of water before it reached the cover. The cover also did feel very secure to me, feeling very twisted (see picture). The Teal Americana is much smaller in surface, but has a much bigger depth. I was able to pour 550 milliliter before reaching the cover mark. The Teal contains almost 3X more liquid than the Red.Coffee Pot: Similar: the Red Nostalgia is graduated for 3 cups and contains 522ml, while the Teal Americana is graduated for 4 cups and contains 515ml.Power: I plan to use one for Car Camping powered by the inverter from a Portable Power Station like a MaxOak BlueTTi, so I was especially interested in the Watts in operation. I used a Welltop Plug-in Socket Power Meter, Voltage Watt Energy Meter which gives instant+min+max watts used to measure. All numbers rounded to the nearest 5.Coffee Maker Only: Teal Americana: 605W vs Red Nostalgia: 570W = 6% difference = similar.Top Griddle Only: Teal Americana: 490W vs Red Nostalgia: 850W = 75% difference. No surprise here as I expected the two heating elements to burn 2X the power.Bottom Oven + Top Griddle together (no Coffee Maker): Teal Americana: 760W vs Red Nostalgia: 740W = suprisingly similar. Big surprise here. I reran the test multiple times, and indeed, when the four heating elements of the Red Nostalgia are on, I was seeing less power – 740W – than when only the top two were on – 850W -.Bottom Oven Only: Teal Americana: 290W vs Red Nostalgia: 340W = 17% difference.All on: Coffee Maker + Bottom Oven + Top Griddle: Teal Americana: 1300W vs Red Nostalgia: 1250W. Keeping the surprise, the Red Nostalgia uses less power when everything is turned on.The Red Nostalgia reaches its maximum power of 1350W when the bottom oven is off, and the Coffee Maker and the Top Griddle are both on.As I am very limited by my current inverter (600W) and its batteries, I went with the Teal Americana.My Teal Americana fits in the 40 Liter, 22 Inch Duffle Bags for Women, Men, Travel Heavy Duty (Black) from Trail Maker also bought on Amazon.Already used it on a few day trip where we were staying in hotel (no power limitations there) with fridge and no kitchen. It was used everyday and it was so nice to have breakfast in the room (in bed?) and be able to cook / reheat takeout. I recommend hat you get one of those 3-in-1 if you travel by car and camp or hotel.
