It depends on the depth of the stain. These remove an extremely small layer. You also need to seal granite every 6 months to avoid stains.

We placed it on a mostly black granite. The granite has some browns and whites scattered throughout, but the sink really pops! The brown of the sink pulls out the brown in the granite, and it looks very nice.

I have granite and no issues. I had a plumber install, not corking on granite.

this is very unusual! normally this stuff turns black in a very short time over all surfaces,painted or rusty. i've been using this stuff for years and i highly recommend putting down some rustoleum metal primer over all treated surfaces,no matter what the label says about not needing any primer. did you shake the container enough,i wonder?

Ive had mine for a year now but don't live in a salty area. However I never cover it and have yet to have a problem. If you keep it covered when not in use you shoul be okay. Not all the parts are stainless steel so over time I'm sure they will rust. A helpful hint. Ash of any kind when mixed with water or any moister will cause rust. Cean the inside on a regular bases and lay a little stainless polish on it from time to time and you should be okay.

No, mine is on a simply patterned tile surface and it looks great. I think it would look fine on granite. It has patterned areas in a darker background.

Karen: I would think it would be OK to remove--not sure if it would dull/change the appearance of the granite after removal of the quick shine so obviously try a small test area first.

I've used mine a lot and never had rust issue with them, however, I did research and found out that actually using the grinder to grind coffee with "season" the burs and take care of the rust problem, much as you would do with a cast iron pan. According to the information I found, the burs are NOT stainless steel so can rust, also I found out that rust is actually not toxic and will simply convert to iron needed for the body or excess will be expelled. You can look this up yourself and find the same info I found, one source is: baratza.com/blog/rustyburs Hope this helps and good luck.

Without actually seeing the grinder it's difficult to say what the problem is. Stainless doesn't rust easily and so I would be inclined to believe what you are seeing is lubricant from manufacturing turning color. Try washing it with Dawn dish soap and a white Scotchbrite scrubber. Be sure to dry the grinding stones very well. You can do that by grinding a hopper full of coffee beans.

I have had mine for several months and the tip where the water comes out does have some calcium deposits on it but no rust. I don't see it as a problem, but a quick scrub with lime-away and a good rinse should fix it.

Alaa -- It sounds like the opening is larger than that called for in the installation instructions. I installed mine and did not have that issue. Since your countertop is granite, there is little you can do now, except maybe fill those corners with something that is close to the color of the granite. Regards, Russ Walden

I bought this product in January and am using for about one month. He had dark spots on the metal plate, is this normal? Sometimes resembles rust.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGYW0CNsbS0

No but I notice a few spots on the outside of the pot that are getting discolired but it's not rust. I empty my pot each time I use it, not because of rust but to keep down a hard water build up.

CV....i am so glad you asked. I had bought a cream copper cleaner especially for this sink. When i rubbed the cream on, the finish started to come off, leaving a shiny, uneven copper color in place of the beautiful patina. It was so bad, I ordered another sink (not the same one, but very similar copper with a rope design around the rim--i actually like it even more). I discarded the copper cleaner and have put the renaissance cream on the new sink to protect it. I haven't used ANYTHING to clean it, considering dawn or a mild soap. so, buyer, beware!!

I'm concerned, too. There are two products identical to each other, one chrome and one stainless steel. I want the stainless steel model. But this one's 1-Star reviews show it listed as "Stainless Steel Finish" and rusting. I just have no idea what to believe.

No, mine looks great, almost like new even after a lot of use. I have quite of few stainless steel pots and pan and nothing like what you are describing has ever happened. In my never to be humble opinion it is not common.

Not normal. Use a flashlight and check for rust. Return to Amazon if you are within the date to do so; otherwise you will have a difficult time to get a refund from Mastrad, if any.
