The photo is deceiving, Is there black painted on the side of it of is that the shine affect of the stainless steel?

No black...it's just an artifact of the photograph. It's shiny stainless steel all over.

Cuisinox French press coffee maker is constructed of shiny, polished and highly reflective stainless steel -- all of it.

It's entirely nice shiny stainless. There's no weird black stripe Must be a shadow.

The one they sent me was as shiny as chrome I was dissapointed about that since I was trying to match the other side. To me the picture looks like it has a brushed finish. Other than that it seems to be well made.

yes, the top and bottom trims are stainless steel, but all the rest is black. It's as it seems in the picture.

It is a shiny mirror finish, not a brushed finish. FYI, brushed stainless is still a stainless steel, just a different finish.

It comes both ways depending on the model you get. Stainless models generally have "ss" in the model number somewhere. I have this unit and it's black. Not a piece of stainless on it anywhere.

It is not a matte finish but it is not sparkly bright. However, I am somewhat disappointed in the finish. I have some old stainless (50 yrs old) and there is much difference the Oneida stainless and the Reed and Barton, which I discovered after I purchased it that it is made in China. I find most things made in China do not hold up well. Hope this provides what you needed to know. Shelia M.

No. It is cast iron. It is painted with stove blacking but it is sort of silver underneath. If you use it a lot the blacking will wear off. You can repaint it if you want it to look really black. I would mooch a bit from some one who has a wood stove.

I bought the stainless one. Installed, there's nothing black on it. If you send me an email address,I can send you a picture.

Mr. SunDevil, negative on the chrome bracketry, it looks as if it's black powder coated. Still looks good, the fire bottle's chrome over powers the bracket anyways...I'll attempt to post a picture. Take care.

yes, from afar it looks black. Up close the oil rubbed bronze is more visible. But overall it is BLACK.

No, it's painted aluminum or anodized. It's more grey looking than silver. Hope that helps.

Yea, it's a brushed stainless...personally I like the look of polished against brushed, but you may just want to go with a brushed look.

It is more of a brushed nickle or a satin finish. Not that shiny stainless look.

Mine is brushed stainless. So it has a sheen to it, but not like chrome finishes. I throw my around in cleaning and it looks fine to me. Really enjoying it.

Though it is not painted, a simple Black coating used for your side mirrors and black trimming keeps it protected from the sun and helps it maintain it's black shine.

Side panels are black. Stainless is the door. Looks just like the picture with this question.

It is a glossy black plastic finish, but it is black. The mesh speaker grills are possibly made of stainless steel, but they are painted black as well.
