CASO Design WaffleUp Belgian Waffle Maker
The CASO WaffleUp takes a different approach to waffle making: rather than lying flat, the plates stand vertically and batter is poured in from the top, which lets gravity distribute it evenly through the mould without the need to tilt or rotate anything. The result is a consistently shaped Belgian waffle with a crisp exterior, and because the excess batter drips into the included container below rather than onto the worktop, there is considerably less mess than with a conventional horizontal maker. Five browning levels give you control over how dark you want the result, and a light indicator and beep tell you when the waffle is ready. At 32cm tall and 16.5cm wide it stores compactly upright, with an integrated cable tidy that keeps things neat between uses. A ladle is included in the box.
Features:
Vertical baking system with top-fill design: Batter is poured in from the top of the upright mould, allowing it to distribute evenly by gravity without tilting or rotating the machine, producing a consistently shaped Belgian waffle each time.
Five browning levels: A control dial with five settings lets you adjust the browning from lightly golden to deeply crisp, covering both sweet and savoury preferences and different batter recipes.
Double non-stick coating: Both plates have a double non-stick coating that makes the finished waffle easy to remove cleanly without tearing, and simplifies cleaning between uses.
Drip container for excess batter: A removable drip container below the plates catches any overflow from the batter pour, keeping the worktop clean. The collected batter can be reused rather than wasted.
Ready indicator light and beep: A light indicator shows when the machine has reached temperature and when the waffle is cooked, with an audible beep to confirm, so you do not need to watch it constantly.

Care instructions:
After each use: Allow the machine to cool fully before cleaning. Wipe the plates and interior with a damp cloth or soft sponge. The double non-stick coating means residue should release easily without scrubbing.
Drip container: Remove the drip container and wash separately in warm soapy water after each use. Any collected batter can be reused in the next batch if it has not been sitting for long.
Exterior: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers on any part of the machine.
What to avoid: Do not immerse the machine in water. Do not use metal utensils on the non-stick plates. Do not attempt to clean the plates whilst the machine is still hot.
Questions and answers:
How does the vertical design actually work in practice?
You close the plates, pour the batter in through the opening at the top using the included ladle, and the batter fills the mould from below as it flows down. The machine then heats from both sides simultaneously. Because the plates are upright, the batter weight distributes itself evenly rather than pooling at one end, which produces a more uniform waffle than you sometimes get with a horizontal maker.
Can I use this for savoury waffles as well as sweet?
Yes. The five browning settings mean you can adjust the cook to suit different batter types, and a slightly lower setting tends to work well for savoury batters that benefit from a softer texture. Cheese, herb, or vegetable waffles work well in this format.
Are the plates removable for cleaning?
The source data does not confirm whether the plates are removable. The double non-stick coating is designed to make cleaning easier in place: wipe down with a damp cloth or soft sponge once the machine has cooled. Do not immerse the machine in water.
How big is the waffle it produces?
The source data does not specify the waffle dimensions. The machine itself measures 32cm tall by 16.5cm wide by 30cm deep, which gives an indication of the plate size, but the exact waffle diameter or grid dimensions are not confirmed in the available product data.
