Affiliate Disclosure

Coffee Bean Index participates in affiliate advertising programs designed to provide a means for the site to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to partner retailers.

This site 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.

We also participate in affiliate programs with Stumptown Coffee, Trade Coffee, Blue Bottle Coffee, Death Wish Coffee, and other roasters. These relationships are noted on relevant pages.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click an affiliate link and make a qualifying purchase, we earn a small commission — typically 4–15% of the sale price, depending on the program. This commission comes from the retailer, not from you. Your purchase price is the same whether you use an affiliate link or not.

How Affiliate Relationships Affect Content

They don’t affect rankings or recommendations. Commission rates vary by program — a brand with a 15% commission rate does not receive preferential placement over a brand with a 4% rate. Rankings are based on the editorial criteria described in our Editorial Standards.

We only link to products we’ve reviewed analytically. We don’t create pages specifically to capture affiliate revenue from products we haven’t evaluated against our standards.
