Stainless steel features heavily in the components and body of most mid to high end prosumer coffee machines such as those made by Rocket, Vibiemme and Lelit. Its a hard wearing and easy to clean material found in commercial kitchens.
I usually use a small amount of dish soap, mixed into hot water and clean the stainless surfaces with a microfibre cloth. Adding a small amount of baby oil to the mix will help prevent smudges and finger prints. I guess that is good for stainless fridges and benchtops, but I'm pretty fussy when it comes to my coffee machine, so stray finger prints arent a problem - no kids around the coffee machine, and its hot, so maybe that helps keep the fingers away. Not that I am at all lazy, but I've found that Glass Cleaner does a terrific job and its ready to go at a moments notice.
