The BISTRO Toaster by BODUM is designed to toast to perfection. The variable browning button lets you set the toaster to your preferred browning, delivering perfectly toasted bread everytime. The Bodum company got its start in Denmark in 1944, when Peter Bodum started a business wholesaling household products. Today, the Bodum brand, known for its innovative coffee press, as well as its tea makers, is still family-owned.
