Brushed stainless steel

Brushed stainless is the housing most Sage machines already had. This page is the group for pieces filed under that finish, not a different mechanism.

Brushed steel hides small scratches better than a mirror polish and worse than a painted panel. Wipe with the grain when you can see it. Circular scouring leaves a cloudy patch that does not match the rest of the brush.

Steel next to a kettle spout spots if you let drips dry. Those spots are water, not rust, on a stainless housing. Dry them. A rust-coloured mark under a rubber foot is usually water trapped against carbon steel in the bench, or a chip through the finish, and is worth looking at rather than scrubbing harder.

The machines in steel are the ones described on the category pages, starting with coffee, ovens and kettles. Painted alternatives are Sea Salt, Black Truffle, Damson Blue and Smoked Hickory.
