A cafe cooktop is available in both gas and electric models, featuring radiant smooth surfaces, griddle surfaces, continuous grates, as well as induction cooking options. Whatever type of control you prefer, glass touch, gliding touch, or rotary knob, all cooktops come in the standard sizes of 30 inches, 36 inches, and 48 inches.

GE Cafe Appliance Finishes 

No need to limit yourself to stainless steel if you don't like the look of it, nor should you spend a fortune on custom cabinetry panels, either. To personalize your pieces, GE Cafe offers matte enamel, glass, and metallic accents in addition to classic stainless steel.

Here is the rundown of the Cafe appliance's finishes and colors.

GE Cafe Appliance Finishes

  • The Matte White finish complements bronze fixtures, making the kitchen feel clean, connected, and timeless. Luxurious in appearance and smudge-resistant, it gives a fresh spin to a classic shade.
  • Black Matte is inspired by the dark natural tones found in materials like stone and wood. Adding texture and depth to this fabric allows you to make a bold, crisp statement.
  • Platinum Glass is available on a variety of Cafe appliances, including ovens, refrigerators, dishwashers, and induction cooktops. Fridges and ovens are handleless, which can be opened by nipping with your elbow or simply by asking.
  • There are four Metallic hardware kits available from Cafe as well: stainless steel, black, bronze, and copper. Designed as both a kitchen staple in decor and a quality cookware material, the latter is Cafe's signature metal.
