Affiliate disclosure.

Caffeine & Co is free to read because some of the links on this site earn us a commission when you buy through them. This page explains exactly how that works.

How it works

Some outbound links to retailers, roasters, and subscription services are affiliate links. If you click through and buy something, we may earn a small commission from the seller. It costs you nothing extra, the price is the same whether you use our link or go direct.

Amazon Associates

Caffeine & Co is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

Awin network partners

Caffeine & Co also participates in affiliate programs operated on the Awin network, currently with Koa Coffee (Hawaiian Kona coffee) and 1st in Coffee (espresso machines, grinders, and brew gear). When you buy through one of these links we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

Who we work with

Current and planned partners include coffee subscription services (the kind we compare in our research-based subscription guides) and equipment retailers selling grinders, machines, and brew gear. We add and drop partners over time as our reviews expand into new categories.

What it doesn't do

Affiliate relationships never influence a score or a verdict. Our recommendations are set by the research, not by whether a partnership exists for the product, and any deal that asked for editorial input in exchange for placement would be declined. If a guide is a research-based comparison rather than a hands-on test, we label it that way, and an affiliate link doesn't change that.

How we source gear

Our gear guidance is currently research-based, built from manufacturer specifications and public data rather than review units. When we publish hands-on reviews, we buy the equipment at retail, and where a manufacturer sends a review unit, we say so in the piece.
