You get up in the morning, dragging your sorry bleary-eyed ass into the kitchen, only to be faced with eating a boring ready-made cereal or having to get out pots and pans to make a decent breakfast.

Now I LOVE waffles, but truth be told, I'm much too lazy to make them for an early breakfast, and frozen waffles are an abomination in the eyes of the great Celtic Waffle Gods, so, for the sake of my taste buds and my marriage, I will not eat them.

I want a wafflemaker that is more like a toaster, with fast heating non-stick waffle irons mounted on the sides of the slots. You simply drop a blob of batter into the slot and press down on the plunger (which presses the teflon coated irons together) and starts the cooking process. When the waffles are done, the irons spring quickly apart and the waffles are popped up in normal toaster fashion, hot, fresh, and ready to eat.

Top them with some chopped up fruit, some whipped cream, and a drizzle of maple syrup. Mmmm, it's heaven AND a happy marriage because there's no waffle iron to clean.

It might be possible to devise a pair of heated patterned cylinders where a batter is fed in at the top and the cylinders roll out a continuous waffle.

Sorry, but I can't resist this:

(Homer voice) "Mmmmmm, contiiiiiiinuous waaaaaaafffffle"

But seriously, I'm not grasping the reason why this would require any less cleaning than a traditional teflonned waffle iron.

There's a very simple solution. Get somebody to make a half ton of waffles and freeze them in individual plastic bags. When you want to use them, pop the frozen waffles into a toaster and you're all set.

I'd go further than that and have premade waffle mix that is automatically poured into the maker you describe. As you wake up and lie in bed, you push a button and the whole process goes to work. Now you just need a robotic servant to bring you the waffles & goodies....
