Brand Spotlight: Café Kitchen Appliances

by Olly Mason

Fun, fresh, and full of personality, Café appliances are the epitome of careful craftmanship and trendy design together in a cohesive presentation of contemporary kitchen style. The magic behind Café’s popularity is its ability to appeal to tastes that no other brand can.

Café understands you enjoy white appliances, but you also enjoy something different, like the brand’s fashion-forward matte-white finish. Or maybe you like the versatility of stainless steel, but want a little more dimension. Customizable handles and knobs in a variety of brushed finishes are the perfect way to add a stamp of whimsy.

Regular subscribers might recall our dive into GE Profile, where we demonstrated why the line is suited for shoppers ready to embrace the future of the smart home. On the other hand, Café invites buyers to explore new designs that step out of the norm, whether it’s with the traditional approach of the Professional series, or the Modern Glass series created for those who are minimalists at heart.

Whether your shopping journey has been long, or you’ve just jumped in, take a look at our brand spotlight to see why we love Café kitchen appliances.

Made for the Modern Kitchen

Café’s isn’t only progressive when it comes to style. Thanks to the Home Connect Technology (included on most Café appliances, including those featured in this blog), the WiFi compatible easy user experience is not only ergonomic, but with industry-leading security, it’s also protected. That means on top of great using Amazon Alexa of Google Assistant to monitor oven and range cameras or Hestan Cue cooking, you can enjoy peace of mind that Café appliances will protect your home’s network from breaches.

Best of all, with the ability to automate standard system upgrades, Café appliances with Home Connect Technology improve throughout their lifetime, with the capability to do more than the day they were purchased.

Café Refrigerators

With nearly 28 cubic feet of storage capacity, our standard-depth Café refrigerator pick (model CVE28DP2NS1) is a practical choice for a full house. Four doors provide flexible food storage, including a middle drawer with adjustable glass dividers and Soft Freeze technology capable of temperatures as low as 23 degrees and up to 42 degrees. Smart design, such as a water dispenser and ice-maker built into the door maximize usable space, and these features provide enhanced food storage performance: 

  • Twin Chill dual evaporator 
  • Bright LED light tower for better illumnation 
  • Sealed Wet Zone drawer locks in humidity 
  • Vented Dry Zone drawer keeps moistoure out 

The Perfect Fit: Counter-Depth Café Refrigerators

At just over 31 inches deep, these counter-depth Café fridges provide a little extra kitchen floorspace, with generous space for items inside, complete with these convenient features:

  • A Showcase Lighting System that delivers enhanced illumination.
  • Humidity-controlled crisper drawers that prolong the life of fresh vegetables.
  • A full-width drawer with temperature-controlled storage.
  • Twin Chill dual evaporators allow the freezer and refrigerator to work independently for precise temperature and humidity settings in each chamber.

Two options — an internal water dispenser and an external water dispenser — have been designed to suit users’ needs.

Clean Design

With an internal water dispenser, the Café™ CWE23SP2MS1 French door refrigerator elegantly suits minimalists’ tastes, and since its ice maker is relocated in the bottom freezer, users can take advantage of extra space in the refrigerator.

Energy Efficiency

While both of our counter-depth Café refrigerator picks are Energy Star certified, the Café™ CYE22TP2MS1 French door refrigerator can help optimize efficiency with easy access to water and ice without opening the door. Starting the morning is even easier with an intelligent hot water dispense function that allows users to pre-heat water from a smart device or with voice command. Once ready, simply select the Precise Fill setting to dispense hot water for tea, coffee, or oatmeal without spilling.

A 30-inch range fits in a variety of kitchen sizes, and with the choice of a single oven all-gas range, double oven all-gas range, and double oven dual-fuel range, Café manufactures a range for every home and lifestyle.

Rest assured, while these three Café slide-in ranges are mindful of kitchen space, they’re loaded with top-of-the-line features.

With two independent ovens (2.3 cubic feet in upper; 4.7 cubic feet in lower) and a cooktop, this high-end slide-in range provides three different zones to efficiently orchestrate elaborate meals effortlessly.

Double Oven Dual-Fuel Café Range

With the precise heat of gas on a cooktop and even, electric heat inside two ovens, this Café™ C2S950P2MS1 double-oven dual-fuel range is a complete package of versatility and performance. Keep in mind: A duel-fuel range requires both a gas supply and a 220-volt electric outlet.

Café Over-the-Range Microwaves

Café has reimagined the purpose of the over-the-range microwave by equipping it with the Chef Connect system that allows the microwave to communicate with a compatible Café range via Bluetooth. As a result, Café microwaves with Chef Connect are intuitive to cooking, automatically activating ventilation and providing task lighting when the range is in use.
