Affiliate Disclosure

How we fund our mission to help you brew better coffee.

Last updated: November 24, 2024

Complete Home Barista participates in various affiliate marketing programs, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. This means we may earn commissions on purchases made through links on our website.

// What This Means

What This Means for You

No Extra Cost to You

When you purchase through our affiliate links, you pay the same price as if you went directly to the retailer. The commission comes from the retailer's margin, not your pocket.

Supports Our Mission

Affiliate commissions help us maintain this website, create comprehensive guides, and provide honest, unbiased content without charging for access.

Independent Recommendations

Our recommendations are based on thorough research and testing, not commission rates. We only recommend products we'd personally use and stand behind.

// Our Affiliate Partners

Our Affiliate Partners

We participate in the following affiliate programs:

  • Amazon Associates: We earn commissions on qualifying purchases from Amazon
  • Specialty Coffee Retailers: Partnerships with select coffee equipment suppliers
  • Equipment Manufacturers: Direct affiliate programs with coffee machine brands
  • Online Marketplaces: Various coffee-related online stores
// How We Ensure Independence

Our Commitment to Independence

Honest Reviews

We test and evaluate products based on performance, quality, and value. Commission rates never influence our reviews or recommendations.

Transparent Disclosure

All affiliate links are clearly identified. We disclose our relationships with all partners upfront and honestly.

User-First Approach

Your trust is our most valuable asset. We prioritize your needs over affiliate commissions every time.

Alternative Options

We always provide non-affiliate alternatives and encourage you to shop around for the best deals.

// Identifying Affiliate Links

How to Identify Affiliate Links

We make it easy to identify affiliate links:

  • Text Disclosure: Links marked with "affiliate link" or similar language
  • Button Labels: Purchase buttons may indicate affiliate relationship
  • URL Parameters: Some affiliate links contain tracking parameters
  • General Disclosure: This page and footer links explain our affiliate relationships

Remember: Whether you use our affiliate links or shop directly, our recommendations remain the same.

// FTC Compliance

Legal Compliance

This affiliate disclosure complies with the Federal Trade Commission's Guidelines Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising. We are committed to transparency in all our business relationships and marketing practices.
