Plain-English summary: Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, we earn a small commission from Amazon at no extra cost to you. It doesn't change what we recommend.
Amazon Associates
Welcome to Espresso is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
When you click a product link on this site and make a qualifying purchase on Amazon, we earn a commission. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to Amazon — the commission comes from Amazon's margin, not from you.
How this affects our recommendations
It doesn't — or at least, we work hard to make sure it doesn't. Every product we recommend is something we genuinely believe is worth buying for a beginner. We don't accept free products from manufacturers, we don't accept payment for positive reviews, and we don't rank products based on commission rates.
We earn the same Amazon Associates commission rate regardless of which product you buy. There's no financial incentive to steer you toward a more expensive option.
FTC disclosure
In accordance with the FTC's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, we disclose that this site earns affiliate commissions from Amazon. This disclosure appears in the footer of every page on the site.
