Advertising Disclosure

Participation in Affiliate Programs

Duskbrew participates in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions when you click on certain links and make purchases through those links. These affiliate relationships help support our business and allow us to continue providing free content and resources.

Affiliate programs we may participate in include partnerships with coffee equipment manufacturers, online coffee retailers, and related service providers. When we include affiliate links in our content, we will make reasonable efforts to disclose this relationship.

Commission-Based Compensation

When you make a purchase through an affiliate link on our website, we may receive a commission from the merchant at no additional cost to you. The commission we receive varies depending on the product, merchant, and affiliate program terms.

It's important to note that these commissions do not influence the price you pay. The cost to you remains the same whether you use our affiliate link or purchase directly from the merchant.

Product Recommendations

While we do participate in affiliate programs, our product recommendations are based on genuine assessment and experience. We recommend products and services that we believe will be valuable for your coffee journey, regardless of whether an affiliate relationship exists.

The existence of an affiliate relationship does not guarantee a positive recommendation. We maintain editorial independence and will openly discuss both advantages and limitations of products and services we mention.

Financial Relationship Transparency

We believe you have the right to know when a financial relationship might influence content. While we strive to be transparent, affiliate relationships are not the only factor we consider when creating content or making recommendations. Our primary goal is to provide value and help you make informed decisions about your coffee equipment and experiences.

Identification of Paid Content

From time to time, we may publish content that has been sponsored by third-party companies or brands. All sponsored content will be clearly identified as such, using labels such as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," "Advertisement," or similar clear disclosure language.

Sponsored Post Policies

When we publish sponsored content, we adhere to the following principles:

• • Clear disclosure at the beginning of any sponsored article or post
• • Editorial control over content quality and accuracy
• • Honest representation of products or services, including potential limitations
• • Alignment with our values and the interests of our audience

Brand Partnership Disclosures

We may enter into partnerships with brands that provide products, services, or compensation in exchange for mentions, reviews, or other forms of exposure. These partnerships will be disclosed within the relevant content, and our honest assessment will not be compromised by the relationship.

Whether content is sponsored or not, we commit to providing authentic, useful information. We will not mislead readers about the nature of our relationship with any brand or product mentioned in our content.
