There’s cooking and then there’s cooking in style, and that’s what preparing meals on a Café induction range is all about. Known for having some of the sleekest appliance looks on the market, Café has revolutionized the kitchen for homeowners by bringing new ideas to its line of appliances, and the brand’s series of ranges do not disappoint.
With so many exciting features and designs, the Café induction range line is truly worth having its own spotlight. In this guide, we’re going over everything you need to know about owning a Café induction range, plus which models we recommend if you want to learn more about Café induction ranges.
The Café Brand
Café, a part of GE Appliances, is one of the most well-known premium appliance brands on the market today. Launching in 2018, Cafe disrupted the appliance industry by bringing unending customizable designs for consumers. Different lines like the Matte Black or Matte White, Modern Glass, and Premium Glass Collections give customers a large range of color and finish options, as well as various premium-styled handles to compliment any person's preference.
Café is considered an affordable luxury brand that brings power, performance, and durability to the home, while still creating beautiful, modern looks that appeal to your design taste. Homeowners lean towards Cafe because of the endless mix-and-match options from the different collections and finishes. While they may be on the more expensive side compared to appliances like KitchenAid, Frigidaire, Whirlpool, and more, Café’s customization and performance are unmatched in all areas.
Café vs. GE Profile and GE Monogram
Cafe, Profile, and Monogram are all brands created by GE, and while they all attain some overlapping features and performance abilities, there are some things that make them different. Monogram is the true definition of luxury, with premium appliances that appeal to many designers and discerning homeowners that enjoy the finer sides of culinary experiences.
GE Profile consists of sleek featured appliances, and it is more affordable than GE Monogram or Cafe. GE Profile vs Cafe induction ranges offer similar features and sizes, with GE Profile ranges being more budget-friendly, but do not offer the same customizable options that Cafe offers consumers.
