Affiliate Disclosure
We believe in being completely transparent about how this site works and how we earn money.
“Every recommendation on Home Barista Guide reflects our honest assessment of the product. Affiliate relationships never influence which products we feature or how we rate them.”
The Short Version
Home Barista Guide earns money through affiliate links. When you click a link to a product on this site and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the retailer. This costs you nothing extra — the price you pay is identical whether you use our link or go directly.
How Affiliate Links Work
We participate in several affiliate programmes, including the Amazon Associates Programme and retailer programmes available through Awin and other networks. When you click a product link on this site, a small tracking code tells the retailer that you came from Home Barista Guide. If you complete a purchase, the retailer pays us a commission — typically between 3% and 8% depending on the programme.
These commissions are how we fund the research, writing and maintenance that goes into every article on this site.
What This Means For Our Reviews
We only include products we have genuinely researched and believe represent good value. A higher commission rate on one product versus another has no influence on its ranking or recommendation. Our editorial process:
Research First
Products are evaluated on specs, owner reviews and value before any affiliate relationship is considered.
Independent Rankings
Top picks are determined by merit. We regularly recommend products from retailers paying lower commissions.
Regularly Updated
We review our recommendations regularly to ensure they remain accurate and the best available option.
Which Programmes We Use
We currently participate in affiliate programmes operated by or through:
Amazon Associates (UK) — Links to Amazon.co.uk product pages.
Awin Network — Links to UK retailers including Currys, John Lewis, Sage Appliances, and Nespresso UK.
Other direct programmes — Occasionally we may participate in direct affiliate programmes run by individual brands.
Your Rights & Our Commitment
You are never obligated to use our affiliate links. If you prefer, you can simply search for any product we recommend directly on Google or Amazon — we’d rather you found the right product than used our link to buy the wrong one.
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships or editorial independence, please get in touch.
