What This Means
Home Espresso is a participant in various affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate commissions help us keep this website running, pay for the espresso machines we test, and continue producing free, in-depth content for home baristas like you. We want to be completely upfront about this relationship so you can make informed decisions when using our site.
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. The FTC requires that websites clearly disclose any financial relationships that might influence the content you read. We take this responsibility seriously and believe you deserve full transparency.
Amazon Associates Program
Home Espresso 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.
When you click a link to Amazon on our site and complete a purchase within a qualifying window, we receive a small percentage of that sale. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or navigate to Amazon directly. You never pay more by clicking through our links.
In addition to Amazon, we may also maintain affiliate relationships with other retailers, manufacturers, and espresso equipment brands. Any page or review that contains affiliate links is subject to this same disclosure policy.
Our Editorial Standards
The presence of affiliate links on Home Espresso does not influence our reviews, ratings, or recommendations in any way. We are committed to providing honest, unbiased, and thoroughly researched content about home espresso machines, grinders, and accessories.
We only recommend products that we genuinely believe offer value to our readers. If a product performs poorly in our testing or fails to meet our standards, we say so plainly, regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship with the seller or manufacturer. A bad review is a bad review, and we will never soften our assessment to protect a commission.
Our team tests machines using consistent methodology, and our opinions are formed based on real-world performance, build quality, ease of use, and value. No brand can pay us to rank their product higher than it deserves, and no affiliate commission will cause us to recommend something we would not personally use.
We strive to keep all product information, pricing, and availability details as accurate and current as possible. However, prices and product availability can change, and we encourage you to verify details directly with the retailer before making any purchasing decision.
