Affiliate disclosure
As an Amazon Associate, EspressoSpec earns from qualifying purchases. When you click a "Check price" button or a product link on this site and then buy something, we may receive a commission from the retailer. You pay the same price either way.
What this funds
Commissions pay for maintaining the machine and grinder spec database, the gauges, and the free dial-in calculator. There are no sponsored placements, no paid reviews, and no manufacturer relationships that touch editorial output.
What this never changes
SpecScores, gauges, and verdicts are computed from the database with documented weights before affiliate links are attached. A machine with no PID keeps its no-PID chip; a machine that scores poorly keeps its poor score — we link to it anyway so you can check pricing yourself.
How links are marked
Affiliate links route through /go/ on this domain and carry rel="nofollow sponsored". Every page containing them displays a disclosure notice above the first link, per FTC guidance (16 CFR Part 255).
