I believe the answer is:

pop-up

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'device making breakfast?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'father out of bed' is the wordplay.
'father' becomes 'pop' (pop is a kind of father).
'out of bed' becomes 'up' (synonyms).
'pop'+'up'='POP-UP'

'as' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pop-up that I've seen before include "temporary shop?" , "Appear unexpectedly" , "Appear without warning" , "toddler's book?" , "(Of a menu) visible when an option is chosen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
