Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: November 9, 2026
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Cup and Crema participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an advertising program that lets websites earn fees by linking to Amazon.com.
In plain terms
Espresso machines are expensive, so you should know exactly who benefits when you follow a recommendation here. Most buttons in our guides carry an affiliate tag. A qualifying purchase made after clicking one earns this site a commission from Amazon. The amount comes out of Amazon’s side of the sale, and the price on Amazon does not change because you arrived through us.
This disclosure also reflects the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s guidance that a financial connection between a publisher and a product should be clear to readers.
Where you will find it
- Near the top of any article that sends readers to Amazon, ahead of the first such button
- At the bottom of each page
- Here
- On our Facebook, X and Pinterest profiles, and with any post that points toward a product
Our buttons name their destination, such as “Check price on Amazon,” so you know you are heading to Amazon before you click. Some links pass through a short redirect on our own domain on the way there.
What commissions do not touch
The order of a list is set by the criteria published on How We Rank. A higher commission does not move a machine up, and a lower one does not move it down. Brands cannot buy a slot. Every product section carries a list of drawbacks and a “Skip if” list, including for the machines we place first.
Should a company ever give us a machine or a grinder, the article concerned will say so near the top.
Why you will not see prices here
We leave dollar figures out of our articles, and that includes headlines of the “under $500” kind. Amazon limits how its prices may be displayed, and espresso prices shift too often for a printed number to stay true. We also leave out star ratings, review counts and Amazon product images. The button takes you to the current price and customer reviews on Amazon.
Other programs
Amazon is currently our only affiliate program. If we add another, it will be named on this page.
Trademarks
Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates. Other brand and model names belong to their owners and appear here only to identify products. Cup and Crema is independent, and none of those companies owns, sponsors or endorses it.
