Affiliate Relationships
RoastRanked participates in affiliate advertising programs designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to various retailers.
When you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Amazon Associates Program: We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program. When you purchase products through our Amazon links, we earn a small commission that helps support our testing and reviews.
- Direct Brand Partnerships: We occasionally partner directly with coffee equipment manufacturers and retailers when their affiliate programs align with our editorial standards.
Our Editorial Independence
These affiliate relationships do NOT influence our reviews, rankings, or recommendations. We maintain complete editorial independence:
- We purchase and test products with our own funds before reviewing them
- Rankings are based solely on performance, quality, and value
- We regularly recommend products that offer lower commission rates if they're genuinely better
- Negative reviews are published when products don't meet our standards, regardless of affiliate potential
How We Test Products
Every coffee maker, grinder, and frother we recommend has been personally tested in our homes. We brew dozens of pots, measure temperatures, evaluate build quality, and use products for weeks before writing reviews. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions, not to maximize affiliate revenue.
Your Trust Matters
We built RoastRanked to provide honest, helpful coffee equipment reviews. If we wouldn't recommend a product to our friends and family, we won't recommend it to you—regardless of commission rates.
The small commissions we earn from your purchases help us buy more equipment to test, maintain this website, and create free coffee guides and resources.
Questions?
If you have questions about our affiliate relationships or how we review products, please refer to our About page or review our Terms of Service.
Thank you for supporting RoastRanked by using our links. Your purchases at no extra cost to you help us continue providing honest, in-depth coffee equipment reviews.
