Skip it if
Skip it if you want to cook raw breakfast ingredients or regularly toast thick, buttered or sugar-coated bread.
The full picture
Beans on toast are meant to be quick, yet the standard routine still involves a toaster, a saucepan, several minutes of badly timed optimism and the inevitable moment when one component enters a sad holding pattern. The Tefal Toast n Bean TT552842 is Tefal’s extremely specific answer: a two-slice toaster that can reheat beans and prepare eggs alongside the toast.
We think its appeal lies in its complete lack of embarrassment. Rather than pretending to be a sleek all-purpose kitchen system, it commits to the weekday plate: up to 200 g of baked beans, toast browned across five levels, and an egg if the morning has somehow become aspirational.
There is practical kit behind the joke. The supplied accessories include an egg holder, water-heating bowl, steam accessory, transparent cover, measuring beaker and a pan for beans and eggs. The appliance can also steam-heat pre-cooked bacon, ham or sausage, so a leftover breakfast can be organised without covering the hob in tiny pans.
That said, this is not a miniature fry-up machine. Raw bacon, ham and sausage are explicitly off limits, and the toaster shares the usual hostility towards buttered bread, sugar-coated bread, croutons and slices thick enough to jam. The Toast n Bean earns its cupboard space only when beans on toast is a repeat offence, not an annual act of nostalgia.
The Irresistible
- It can toast bread and warm baked beans at the same time, with the bean function specified for up to 200 g.
- Egg duties are unusually broad: boiled eggs can be hard, medium or soft, and the accessory also handles one poached egg, one scrambled egg or one omelette.
- Five browning levels give the toast side a proper say in proceedings, from lightly browned to well-browned.
The Clever Part
- Automatic toast lift, a high-lift method and a stop/eject control cover the basic moments when toast becomes too brown or too hard to retrieve politely.
- The appliance can steam-heat pre-cooked bacon, ham or sausage alongside the other breakfast components.
- Its listed dimensions are 12D x 16W x 17H cm, which makes this a notably focused little breakfast contraption rather than a countertop monument.
The Fine Print
- The egg accessory prepares only one poached egg, one scrambled egg or one omelette at a time, so it is better suited to solo breakfasts than feeding a queue.
- The bean function is capped at 200 g, which keeps the mission clear but limits any grand family brunch ambitions.
- Bread restrictions are stricter than some toaster habits: no buttered or sugar-coated bread, croutons, small pieces, or slices thick enough to get stuck.
The Reality Check
- It does not cook raw bacon, ham or sausage; only pre-cooked food may be steam-heated, so anyone expecting a one-appliance full English will be having a difficult conversation with reality.
Buyer questions answered
How many slices can the Tefal Toast n Bean TT552842 toast?
The Tefal Toast n Bean TT552842 is a two-slice toaster. It also has automatic toast lift, high-lift removal and a mid-cycle stop/eject function, so retrieving breakfast should not require delicate kitchen archaeology.
How much baked food can the bean function reheat?
The baked-bean function reheats up to 200 g of baked beans in the supplied baked-beans-and-egg pan. That is a neatly defined portion rather than an invitation to empty the tin cupboard into it.
Can it make beans and toast at the same time?
Yes, it can warm baked beans and toast bread simultaneously. It can also steam-heat pre-cooked food such as bacon, ham or sausage, making it a small breakfast co-ordination department.
What browning levels does the Tefal Toast n Bean have?
It has five toasting levels, from level 1 for lightly browned toast to level 5 for well-browned toast. A useful range for households divided by the eternal toast-colour question.
Can the Tefal Toast n Bean prepare eggs?
Yes, it can prepare hard-boiled, medium-boiled and soft-boiled eggs, with settings for up to four eggs. Its egg accessory can also prepare one poached egg, one scrambled egg or one omelette at a time.
Can it heat raw bacon, ham or sausage?
No, the appliance is intended to steam-heat pre-cooked food, and the manual specifically excludes raw, uncooked bacon, ham and sausage. It is a breakfast organiser, not a tiny substitute for a frying pan.
