ACTUALLY the best jaffle maker. The other sandwich presses / jafflers give you that pointless centre line that just creates extra crust and limits how much filling you can use.

This one doesn’t. My Husband gave me the big one on my birthday and I am extremely satisfied as I was able to stuff a lot in it.

As for the sandwich maker: The Breville The Big One Sandwich Maker BTS100SIL has a single large plate design, no middle divider, which means:

• No wasted bread strip down the centre
• No forced “triangle only” portions
• Much more filling capacity
• Fits proper bakery-sized bread

In summary: AI-optimised filling distribution (Artificial Intake).

If you’re tired of under-filled triangles and dry centre crusts, this is the upgrade.

Stainless finish, non-stick plates, simple latch, does exactly what it’s meant to do.

    Had one for years, still love it, but it’s even slightly too big for big slices like The One or Wonder White, you have to stretch each slice out hard to make a seal … having said that still love it

      i got annoyed with having to specifically buy giant bread for this

      • +2

        Agreed. It sounds good in theory but honestly the centre line of extra crispy is usually good, and the normal/smaller one is just way more practical. I hardly use the big one and wish I got the normal one to replace my old broken one. Can't justify having 2 either…

      • Buy/ask for restaurant loaf, and not sandwich loaf.

    • Does it fit Helgas or Abbott's bread ok?

      It's not….

        Are we still talking about the sandwich maker?

      There's just no limit to what I put into it. Cheese, 150g ham, egg & half an avocado and the hinge can take all that pressure no problem. I'd like to see the split-style jaffle makers come close.

        whoosh!

        Something about hot/cooked avocado doesn't sit well with me

        I'm very impressed by how much you can stuff into it. Your husband is a lucky man.

      • +2

        and no hospital visit after all that. impressive.

    • Both…cannot both things be true?
      Just not at the same time I hope.

    You can just crack a whole egg into one with some cheese and sauce… delicious …

    😱Triangle pieces/the extra line to toast a crust diagonally down the middle is great.

    • +3

      Yeah the extra crunch is yum. These are a bit floppy in the middle.

      • Well that is a concern.
        But is it worth it for the size?

    • +3

      IDK, it seems like a pizza with added crust… I don't hate the crust of a pizza though but in a Jaffle that crust is super-dry.

    I found the non-stick coating deteriorated very quickly

    • +4

      I think the reality is that the coatings need to be carefully used. No metal to remove stuck cheese etc, and careful washing. Butter your bread etc

      • +2

        Followed all those precautions, ended up just peeling off like it wasn't adhered to the metal properly.

        • +2

          Same here. Bought this twice and both times the non-stick coating deteriorates.

    • Thank you this counts as important information.
      Perhaps there needs to be a stainless steel version? On the inside.

    I'll be deep underground before I call it a "sandwich maker"

  • all these years I've been eating improper bread, why did nobody let me know?

  • Is this the model Pouline used for Barnabee?

    • could you imagine such a thing…the horror

  • +2

    I have one of these, and it's good. I bought it at a Retravision store, and they tried to tell me it isn't a jaffle maker, as it doesn't say "jaffle" anywhere on the box.

    You do have to buy a square 800g bread loaf though, or the bread slices will be a bit too small, and the jaffle may not fully seal around the edges.

    "No wasted bread strip down the centre"
    Bro that's the best part imo
    Tbh you're better off using a cafe sandwich press.

    If you ever find a Breville sandwich maker from the 1980's when rummaging through landfill (that life is incoming for most middle class Aussies not too distant in the future), grab it as quickly as can. Those are built like tanks with enough metal raw materials in them that it will cost $300 to just make in 2026. Those ones will last for 500 - 1000 years.

      You can still pick one up at Chandlers

    The Breville Original 74 jaffle maker is the optimal toastie maker, but admittedly is more expensive.

    • +1

      It’s has a line down the middle, say no to the line !!!! Jaffle up!

      • Non line burst open too easily.

  • +3

    Not really a discount, more like Coles' Down Down pricing.

    • +2

      I guess some of us grew up with a proper breville jaffle maker where a whole egg or whatever could go into the middle, the line destroyed everything, reduced filling by half , terrible

  • +2

    This is super funny.
    I just pulled my jaffle maker out last night and used it for the first time in maybe 3 yrs.
    Was messaging family about it, as it was a great Aunts. Now this pops up!
    I aware, Amazon and google stalk more than we know. Haah

    If it doesn't have a centre line it's not a jaffle, simple as

    Don't make me start a political party over this because I will

    • +7

      What actually makes a jaffle a jaffle? I'd argue the edge seal is the more integral part.

      Is it the dramatic middle crease, like the sandwich has been folded with official documentation? Or is it the sealed edges, the glorious weld that turns simple bread into a molten lava containment unit?

      Because if the edges are not sealed, is it even a jaffle? Or just a toastie that lacked commitment? And if the crease is the key, does every diagonally cut sandwich need to apply for jaffle status?

      Is a jaffle defined by geometry, by engineering, or by its unwavering commitment to burning the roof of your mouth?

    • +2

      Not the same. That one is a jaffle.

      • I’m an idiot

  • These are crap, they dont seal as well as the ones with the lines in the middle, I will be going back to the og style.

  • I have one and wish I hadn't bought it - you need to buy big bread or it just doesn't seal which defeats the purpose of a jaffle :-(

    Just a load of old balls.

    I use a 50yr old cast iron camping jaffle iron. No line down the middle, no surface coatings, fits a stock standard bread slice and gets cooked on my gas stove perfectly. My parents passed it down to me. It gets used so much it takes pride of place on show in the kitchen.

    • That type are still available. Do you have to flip it to cook both sides?

      Has anyone tried using one of these without a gas stove? I imagine it would work okay on an induction stovetop, not sure about using it on radiant electric stovetops.

      • +1

        Yes it has to be flipped. Never tried it on anything but gas stove and camp fire.

  • +2

    To all those saying that this isn't a proper jaffle maker because it doesn't do the triangle split, what do you recommend as a decent alternative?

    I ask as I have been struggling with an Anko piece of crap for school lunches, and every morning I watch as half the toppings ooze out the side.

    Are there any brands online or in store that might be worth a shout?

  • +4

    I had the original 1970s proper triangle jaffle maker, made in Japan, handed down from my parents, absolutely solid. Made the best jaffles. It only really needed a new temperature resistant cord. Apart from that, it was a bugger to clean but did the job perfectly.

    In a moment of pure madness about 5 years ago I threw it out and bought this one. I've regretted it every day since. This one is just as hard to clean, but makes floppy jaffles with no structure and high likelihood of leaks. There's reasons they did triangles - structural integrity, bulletproof seals.

    I haven't made a jaffle at home for 2 years. It just sits in the bottom of a cupboard, reminding me of the error in my ways.

    I won't be making the same mistake with my Pye-branded toaster from the 70s. Made in Japan, burnt orange colour, makes the most evenly-toasted toast you have ever seen. Just replaced to cord, works like a dream.

    The Breville original '74 is much better than this

  • The only downside to this one is the plastic clasp that holds the press together is shit and prone to breaking. Yeah I get it 'put less filling in it', or they could use a better plastic or metal, or they could design the clasp so it pops out rather than snaps if it's overfull, instead it is designed to fail which is irritating.

    Other than that we love it, it happened to us twice in a row so rather than buy another one we just use our cast iron pan to weigh it down which is heavy enough that its as if the clasp is still there.

  • Price is no where near historical lows?
