What makes the Breville Eye Qᵀᴹ Auto Toaster so clever?

And for that matter, what is an Eye Qᵀᴹ auto toaster? For Breville, the secret lies in its clever Eye Qᵀᴹ Optic Sensor. This tiny toast scanner actively monitors your bread’s colour and texture as it toasts, adjusting the timing to deliver that perfect golden brown (if that’s your preference) every single time. Whether you’re working with a thin slice of white or a thick slice of artisan sourdough, the Breville Eye Qᵀᴹ adapts, ensuring your toast is spot on – no more hovering, no more burnt bread.

One slice, three ways: pick your toasting adventure

Not all bread is created equal and the Breville Eye Qᵀᴹ Toaster gets that. That’s why it offers three smart toasting modes designed to handle whatever slice you’re craving.

First up, the Sourdough/Artisan Mode is a game changer for thick, crusty specialty loaves. It adjusts the heat and timing to gently coax out the perfect crunch on the outside while keeping the inside soft and fluffy.

Then there’s the classic Toast Mode, perfect for everyday bread – it delivers reliable, consistent results for all those quick weekday breakfasts.

And if you want total control, the Timer Mode lets you set exactly how long you want your toast cooked, so you can experiment and lock in your personal “just right” every single time.

Tough enough for daily toasting, stylish enough for your bench

Let’s face it, your toaster needs to handle the daily grind without looking like it’s been through the wars. That’s where the Breville Eye Qᵀᴹ shines, thanks to its durable ceramic top. Not only does this tough surface resist scratches and wear like a champ, but it also adds a sleek, modern touch to your kitchen bench.

So while it’s busy delivering flawless toast day after day, it’s quietly doubling as a stylish piece of countertop decor. Because who says your kitchen gadgets can’t be both hardworking and good-looking?

Crumbs, be gone!

We all know the struggle – crumbs everywhere, and wondering, How do I clean my toaster without making a mess?. The Breville Eye Qᵀᴹ gets it right with a larger crumb tray that slides out easily, catching all those pesky bits in one place. This clever design means cleaning up is quick and hassle-free, so you spend less time scrubbing and more time enjoying your perfectly toasted breakfast.

“Keeping your toaster crumb-free not only saves you from awkward countertop clean-ups but also helps your appliance last longer and perform at its best,” says Tracey Ellis. Easy maintenance? Check.

The perfect Kettle and Toaster set

If you’re on the hunt for style and function, the Eye Qᵀᴹ comes as either a 4 slice toaster or 2 slice toaster, so whether you’re feeding a crowd or just yourself, there’s a perfect fit. Plus, each toaster pairs beautifully with a matching kettle in two chic colourways – Noir and Sea Salt – making Breville kettle and toaster sets a seamless match for your kitchen bench.

Recipe inspo with the Breville Eye Qᵀᴹ Smart Toaster

Here are some tasty toast ideas to show off just how easy (and delicious) your mornings can be with the Breville Eye Qᵀᴹ smart toaster.

Loaded sourdough with smashed avocado, feta and chilli flakes

Perfect for: Sourdough/Artisan Mode

Use a thick slice of crusty sourdough and let the Breville Eye Qᵀᴹ’s Sourdough/Artisan Mode handle the density and texture for the perfect crisp-soft balance. Top with smashed avocado, crumbled feta, a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of chilli flakes for an elevated everyday breakfast.

The five-minute egg and toast stack

Perfect for: Toast Mode

While the Breville Eye Qᵀᴹ does the toasting, soft-boil or poach an egg. Stack it on a piece of perfectly toasted multigrain, add smashed peas or spinach and top with sea salt and cracked pepper. Great for a protein-packed start.
