Every factual claim is sourced and linked.
Caffeine numbers, brew ratios, and equipment specs come from manufacturer disclosures and published lab analyses. Where we cite a number, we link to where it came from.
About Caffeine & Co
We drink the coffee.
We check the numbers.
Caffeine & Co is an independent coffee publication, run out of a Melbourne kitchen with beans sourced from roasters worldwide. We are data-obsessed by habit: when a caffeine figure, a brew ratio, or a spec sheet is disputed across the internet, we go and reconcile the public numbers ourselves and cite where every figure came from.
We are not a coffee brand, and we are not owned by one. Our guides are research-based: built from manufacturer disclosures, lab analyses and published data, cross-checked and cited, and when the numbers disagree with the marketing copy, we say so.
Editorial standards
The rules we hold
ourselves to.
We only claim hands-on testing when we've actually tested.
If a review says we tested it, we bought or borrowed the gear and used it. Research-based comparisons, built from public specs and other people's testing, are labelled as research-based, not hands-on.
Scores are never for sale.
Affiliate relationships do not influence verdicts. A brand paying us a commission has no say in the score their product gets, and we'd walk away from any partnership that asked for one.
When sources disagree, we publish the disagreement.
Caffeine content and brew claims vary wildly across brands, labs, and blogs. Instead of picking one number and hiding the rest, we show the range, name the sources, and explain how we reconciled them.
Corrections policy.
If we get something wrong, email [email protected]. We check it, fix it, and note the correction on the page rather than quietly editing it away.
How we make money
Affiliate links and display ads,
disclosed everywhere.
Some links on this site earn us a commission when you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. We also run display advertising. Both are disclosed on every page they appear on, and neither one changes a verdict, a score, or a recommendation.
