Caple has expanded its cooking collection with the launch of two matt black induction hobs, giving retailers and designers a contemporary alternative to traditional black glass models. Available in 59cm (C848iMB) and 77cm (C8641iMB) formats, the new hobs combine induction cooking technology with a durable, scratch-resistant matt black finish.
As kitchen design increasingly embraces tactile materials and softer, more refined finishes, matt surfaces are becoming a popular choice throughout the home. Caple’s latest induction hobs reflect this growing trend, offering a subtle, sophisticated aesthetic alongside the performance and efficiency benefits of induction cooking.
Both frameless models are designed to complement contemporary worktops and feature intuitive slider touch controls for precise adjustment of power levels. They include a 10-level digital power display, booster function, automatic pan detection, safety shut-off and a child safety lock.
The compact 59cm C848iMB is well suited to smaller kitchens and apartments, while the larger 77cm C8641iMB offers greater cooking flexibility for family kitchens and open-plan spaces. Both models feature four induction zones and are designed to provide fast, energy-efficient cooking.
Luke Shipway, Head of Marketing at Caple, said: “Matt finishes continue to influence every aspect of kitchen design, from cabinetry and tapware through to appliances.
“Our new matt black induction hobs enable designers and homeowners to achieve a sophisticated, coordinated look while benefiting from the speed, efficiency and control that induction cooking provides. The scratch-resistant surface also helps maintain the appearance of the appliance over time, making it a practical choice for modern family kitchens.”
Alongside their contemporary styling, the new hobs offer a range of practical, user-friendly features, including programmable timers, residual heat indicators and anti-overheat protection. The matt finish is also designed to minimise the appearance of fingerprints and marks, helping the hobs maintain their premium look between cleans.
