What affiliate links are
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and buy a product, we may earn a small commission. This comes at no extra cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go to the retailer directly.
We use affiliate links to help cover the cost of running this site, testing products, and creating free guides.
Amazon Associates disclosure
topcoffeebean.com 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.
Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates. Product prices and availability on Amazon are accurate as of the date and time shown and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed at the time of purchase will apply.
Other affiliate programs
Beyond Amazon, we may take part in other affiliate and advertising programs with coffee brands, gear makers, and retailers. When we do, the same rule applies: any commission comes at no extra cost to you, and it never changes our honest opinion of a product.
Display advertising
This site also displays ads served through third-party advertising partners. These ads help fund our content. To learn how advertising partners collect and use data, please read our Privacy Policy.
Our promise on honest recommendations
We only recommend products we believe are genuinely worth your money. Our reviews and rankings reflect our own research, testing, and experience, not the size of a commission. A brand cannot pay us to receive a positive review or a higher placement.
When a product has drawbacks, we say so. If something is not worth buying, we leave it off the list. Building your trust matters far more to us than any single sale.
Why we disclose this
We disclose our affiliate relationships because it is the right thing to do, and because advertising standards, including the guidelines set by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC), require clear disclosure of paid relationships. We would rather be upfront with you anyway.
Questions
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships or advertising, please contact us at [your email]. We are always happy to explain how we make money and how we choose what to recommend.
Thank you for supporting Top Coffee Bean. Every purchase you make through our links helps us keep publishing free coffee guides.
So enjoy your cup of coffee
Sam Cain. – Top Coffee Bean.
