Affiliate Disclosure

This page explains how Online Coffee Guide handles affiliate links, product mentions, and commercial relationships.

Affiliate Summary

Some pages on Online Coffee Guide may include affiliate links to coffee equipment, beans, books, filters, grinders, or related products. If a reader clicks an affiliate link and makes a purchase, the site owner may earn a commission at no additional cost to the reader.

When affiliate links are used, the commercial relationship should be disclosed clearly on the relevant page or near the recommendation.

Editorial Independence

Product mentions should support the reader task. They should not determine the conclusion of a guide, brew method page, origin page, or comparison.

Online Coffee Guide aims to explain practical tradeoffs: what a product, brew method, or coffee label is useful for, where it may disappoint, and what readers should check before spending money.

Product Recommendations

A recommendation may consider usefulness, availability, price range, workflow, durability, reader skill level, and whether the product fits the page topic. A higher commission should not make a weak product a better recommendation.

Buying advice should remain valuable even if a reader chooses not to buy through a link on this site.

If sponsored content, paid placement, or a direct brand relationship is ever used, it should be identified clearly. Sponsored relationships should not be hidden inside ordinary editorial copy.

Reader Trust
