Editorial standards
The commitments behind every review, comparison and guide on CoffeeGearHQ.
Independence
No brand pays us for coverage, for a higher score, or for a place on a “best” list. We don't publish sponsored reviews. Our verdicts are our own — full stop.
Honesty about testing
Where a verdict is based on our own hands-on use, we say so. Where it's a synthesis of long-term owner experience and expert coverage, we say that too. We never fabricate first-hand testing or photograph a product we didn't use. Our full method is on the how we research & test page.
Sourcing
- We aggregate long-term owner consensus from reviews, forums and communities to capture real-world reliability.
- We weigh established expert and specialist coverage.
- We verify and normalise specifications so cross-brand comparisons are fair.
Accuracy & corrections
We aim to get it right and to fix mistakes quickly when we don't. If you spot an error — a wrong spec, an out-of-date detail, anything — email hello@coffeegearhq.com and we'll review and correct it.
Funding
CoffeeGearHQ is reader-supported through affiliate links, explained in full in our affiliate disclosure. That funding does not influence which products we recommend.
