Meghan Markle's waffle maker is going viral and it's surprisingly affordable
On Saint Patrick's Day, the Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram Stories to share a very relatable mum moment whipping up green waffles for her two kids, Archie and Lilibet.
But royal watchers and brunch lovers alike quickly zoomed in on something else: her waffle maker. And we think we've found the exact one.
The Cuisinart WAF-F30 Round Flip Belgian Waffle Maker, a sleek, no-fuss appliance that's been dubbed an Amazon's Choice product, with over 3,000 purchases in the past month and a 4.6-star rating from more than 1,300 happy customers.
Retailing for $69.95 (and often on sale), this cult-favourite is perfect for anyone who wants to elevate their weekend brekkie without splashing out a royal fortune.
According to reports, Queen Elizabeth herself may have gifted Archie a waffle maker, and Markle's post only added fuel to the theory.
Her IG Story may have expired in 24 hours, but screenshots confirm the round flip design and signature handle that match the Cuisinart model.
But Markle's not the only one flipping for waffles.
The modern waffle maker is having a serious moment in Aussie kitchens, with families, foodies, and even fitness buffs using them to create everything from sweet brunch treats to protein-packed snacks and savoury lunch options.
So, what makes the Cuisinart WAF-F30 stand out from the crowd? For starters, it's 1-inch-thick Belgian-style waffles are crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, just the way waffles should be.
It flips 180 degrees for even cooking, features a non-stick coating for easy cleanup, and has adjustable browning controls so you can personalise your perfect waffle.
Translation: it's basically foolproof. And yes, that includes when you've added green food colouring on a whim, just like Meghan.
Can't find the exact model in Australia? Don't worry — we've tracked down a very similar version available now on Amazon Australia: the Cuisinart WAF-150A Waffle Maker in sleek black.
It's also earned an Amazon's Choice badge, a solid 4.6-star rating, and is currently on sale for $119 (down from $129).
This model delivers the same Belgian-style waffles and non-stick convenience, making it a brilliant option for Aussie shoppers looking to channel their inner duchess.
If you're ready to add a touch of royal-approved flair to your breakfast routine, this waffle maker is the perfect place to start.
Whether you're serving up a festive family brunch or just making something special for yourself, it turns the everyday into a little bit of luxury.
