Terms of Service

Effective date: November 9, 2026

These terms apply to your use of cupandcrema.com (the “Site”), which is operated by the Cup and Crema editorial team (“Cup and Crema,” “we,” “us”). Using the Site means you accept them. If you do not accept them, please stop using the Site.

1. What the Site provides

The Site publishes research-based information and buying guides about home espresso machines and coffee grinders. As explained on How We Review, our material is compiled from manufacturer documents, retailer listings, safety records, independent publications and owner reports, and it is drafted with AI tools. We do not brew on or grind with the machines and grinders in our guides, except where an article specifically says otherwise.

Machines are revised, listings change and mistakes happen. Anything important should be confirmed with the maker or seller before you spend money.

2. Appliance safety and no professional advice

Espresso machines and grinders can cause burns, electric shock, fire, water damage and cuts or crushing injuries if misused or faulty. Nothing on the Site replaces the manufacturer’s manual or the judgment of an authorized technician or licensed electrician, and nothing on the Site is repair, electrical, medical or legal advice. Do not open a machine’s housing, alter or bypass its safety or pressure components, or attempt a repair the manual does not allow.

We do not advise on the health effects of coffee or caffeine. Questions of that kind belong with a qualified health professional.

You decide which products to buy and how to use them, and you do so at your own risk.

3. Affiliate links and other websites

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Links from the Site to Amazon.com are affiliate links, as described in our Affiliate Disclosure.

If you buy after following a link, your purchase is between you and that seller, on the seller’s terms. We sell nothing and do not handle orders, delivery, returns, refunds or warranties. We are not responsible for other websites or for the products and services they offer.

4. Ownership of content

Our text, tables, graphics, logos and page design belong to us or to those who license them to us, and copyright and other laws protect them. You may read and print pages for your own non-commercial use, and you may quote short passages if you link to the original page. Republishing, scraping, reselling or adapting our content otherwise requires our written permission, and that includes collecting it to build data sets.

Brand and model names belong to their owners and appear only to identify products.

5. Comments and messages

By posting a comment or sending us material, you confirm that you are entitled to share it and that it breaks no law and infringes no one’s rights. You allow us, without payment and on a non-exclusive basis, to publish it, shorten or clarify it, or take it down. We may refuse or remove any comment. Spam, harassment and other people’s personal information are not allowed.

6. Conduct

Do not use the Site unlawfully, try to access its systems without permission, disrupt its operation, or harvest it with automated tools without our consent.

7. No warranties

We provide the Site and its content on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the extent the law permits, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

8. Limits on liability

To the extent the law permits, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss or injury connected with using the Site, acting on what it says, or any product you obtain from someone else. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you.

9. Indemnity

If a claim against us results from your improper use of the Site or your breach of these terms, you agree to cover the resulting losses and reasonable costs.

10. Governing law

The law of Vietnam governs these terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, unless the law where you live requires otherwise.

11. Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms. The effective date above shows the current version, and continuing to use the Site after a revision means you accept it.
