Bora Pure cooktops with integrated extraction: a refined balance of efficiency, quality and aesthetics

At EuroCucina 2026, Bora, the Austro-German group that develops and produces premium built-in appliances, shared its vision for the kitchen: an idea that redefines the domestic space as a place of freedom, well-being and connection. 

The company, which was the first to introduce integrated extraction systems for cooktops as an alternative to the traditional hood, presented at the fair the restyling of the Bora Pure family, a refined balance between efficiency, quality and aesthetics. The new versions feature a matte surface, a more intuitive control interface and advanced connectivity.

The Bora Pure range now includes four models: X Pure, M Pure, Pure and S Pure which, with the different finishes, reaches eight variants. Four sizes, four cooking zones and a central circular vent ensure effective odor extraction. The minimalist design with an installation height below 20 cm allows integration into kitchen bases from 60 to 90 cm. 

Matte aesthetics for a new look

Previously available only in glossy ceramic glass, the Bora Pure compact cooktops with integrated extraction are now also offered in a matte version. Schott black glass enhances the brightness of the LEDs and the soft-touch finish allows harmonious integration with dark countertops, which have recently been very on-trend.  The velvety matte surface also reduces the visibility of scratches and fingerprints.

 

Focus on air quality 

Thanks to the extraction inlet and the activated carbon filter, the Bora Pure systems guarantee clean air during and after cooking. The powerful extraction and the Bora eSwap Plus filter technology effectively eliminate odors, ensuring a healthier, quieter and more comfortable kitchen environment.

The integrated display indicates when the filter has reached its end of life: the new filter can be easily replaced thanks to Bora's patented system, accessible from above through the removable vent. 

Cutting-edge technology 

The Bora Pure compact cooktops with integrated extraction feature cutting-edge technology that enables precise control, ease of use and perfect results. The sControl+ multicolor control system is designed for maximum readability: white for functions, red for heat, blue for air. The touch panel, positioned at the front, ensures intuitive interaction.  The Assist functions and the BORA JOY app support every step while the bridge function allows combining two cooking zones.
