A contemporary kitchen doesn’t stop at the colour of your walls or at the selection of your major cooking appliances. There are few food combinations as satisfying as tea and toast, and it follows that a kettle and toaster should be its own neat combination—one that whets your appetite for the breakfast ritual to come. A Morphy Richards breakfast pack will accentuate any benchtop and redefine how you view the centrepiece of a kitchen. The Accents range straddles the border between retro and modern for the ultimate personalisation, available in striking metallic colours such as rose gold. The Aspect collection is defined by clean architectural lines and subdued hues, finished by the subtle sophistication of Scandinavian-inspired wooden trims. This is the sort of complementing that will get people complimenting.
Morphy Richards has taken the humble kettle and given it an air of sophistication. We’re not talking about complicated functionality, but rather an emphasis on contemporary design that doesn’t meddle with the ease-of-use you’ve come to know. From the metallic shine of the Accents Pyramid range, to the dusty pastels of the Aspect Scandi series, Earl Grey won’t be the only colour in your kitchen come teatime.
You don’t have to like your toast crispy to appreciate the crisp finish of a Morphy Richards toaster on a kitchen benchtop. With variable browning settings, every member of your household can enjoy their toast the way they like it. And, with four deep, self-centering slots, you don’t have to eat alone. Whether you’re enticed by the curves and chrome, or by the Scandinavian-inspired wooden trim, setting the table now consists of choosing a setting for your table.
Morphy Richards is not just a brand for breakfast. Sear and stew at home while you’re busy at the office with their 6.5-litre capacity slow cooker. Recoup your love for soup with their 1100-watt soup maker, which boasts eight automatic programs for smooth, medium, or chunky concoctions. If you want some croutons with your soup, you can make them yourself with a Morphy Richards bread maker, with a whopping 19 programs, 70-minute fast bake option, and a mode for gluten-free baking.
Who needs latte art when you’ve got a coffee brewer that makes a bold aesthetic statement just by idling around on your benchtop? Cup after cup, a Morphy Richards filter coffee machine will please the palate of any bean fiend. Make up to 12 cups of deliciously smooth drip coffee, and cater to the tastes of all your guests with adjustable aroma settings. A shower head mechanism ensures even saturation of your grounds, and a timer function makes waking up to fresh coffee even more satisfying. Available in bronze and platinum finishes, this is a proud addition to the Evoke collection.
In July 1936, Donal Morphy and Charles Richards found themselves at an oast house in Kent, but it wasn’t beer they were brewing. Morphy was an engineer and Richards was a salesman, and together they saw an opportunity—to make then-luxury items like irons, toasters, and electric fires accessible to all.
Morphy Richards quickly made a name for itself, introducing the first electric iron to the UK. This was followed by the UK’s first automatic toaster in 1949. In 1954, Morphy Richards brought out a range of steam irons—their technology would remain revolutionary for the next 20 years and, throughout the early 60s, the company was manufacturing 1000 irons an hour.
By 1972, Morphy Richards had nestled itself into the homes and hearts of people all over Britain. It’s estimated each British household owned around two Morphy Richards products at this stage. With a diverse range of appliances extending from hair dryers to vacuum cleaners, this statistic holds up without suspicion.
Morphy Richards graced the Australian market in the year 2000. Today, it proudly belongs to the Glen Dimplex Group where it produces kettles, toasters, stick blenders, and benchtop cooking appliances. At Morphy Richards, style is never over substance, and fashionability always complements functionality.
