I've never had a single bowl sink before & was concerned since I do a lot of hand washing.  This truffle Blanco cascade is what the counter top guy recommended & he was SO right.  As others have said, it's great for large trays and pans, but I'm surprised at how often I use the colander.  A friend who has a white Blanco mentioned that coffee and red wine are difficult, but so far (3 mos), nothing mars this beauty.  We're remodeling our kitchen & when people come to check it out, I always point out this sink and what a happy surprise it's been.
