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.

Who we work with

Current and planned partners include coffee subscription services (the kind we review in our long-term subscription tests) 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. A product's rating is set before we know or care whether a partnership exists for it, and we've turned down deals that asked for editorial input in exchange for placement. If a review reads as a research-based comparison rather than a hands-on test, we label it that way, an affiliate link doesn't change what testing actually happened.

How we source gear

We buy most of the equipment we review at retail, the same price you'd pay. Where a manufacturer sends a review unit, we say so in the piece.
