Advertising Disclosure
Our commitment to transparency in advertising and partnerships
At Brewnique, transparency is one of our core values. This Advertising Disclosure explains how we may earn income through various advertising and partnership relationships. We believe you have the right to know when we receive compensation for recommendations or when content is sponsored.
Our primary commitment is to provide honest, valuable guidance about artisan coffee. Any advertising or affiliate relationships we maintain do not compromise our integrity or the quality of information we share. We only recommend products, services, or practices that we genuinely believe will benefit our audience.

Affiliate Relationships
Brewnique participates in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions when you purchase products or services through links on our website. These relationships help support our work and allow us to continue providing quality content and services.
How Affiliate Programs Work
When we recommend coffee equipment, brewing tools, or other products, some of these recommendations may include affiliate links. If you click on these links and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay remains the same whether you use an affiliate link or navigate to the product directly.
These commissions help cover the costs of maintaining our website, developing content, and continuing our work with sustainable coffee farms. We appreciate your support when you choose to use our affiliate links.
Our Affiliate Standards
We maintain strict standards for affiliate recommendations:
- We only recommend products and services we have personally used or thoroughly researched
- Our opinions remain independent and are not influenced by potential commissions
- We clearly disclose when links are affiliate links
- We provide honest assessments, including both strengths and limitations
- We never recommend products solely for commission potential
Types of Affiliate Programs
We may participate in affiliate programs for:
- Coffee equipment manufacturers and retailers
- Specialty coffee roasters and green coffee suppliers
- Brewing accessories and water filtration systems
- Educational resources and online courses related to coffee
- Other products and services we genuinely recommend to coffee enthusiasts
Sponsored Content
From time to time, we may partner with brands, coffee farms, or other organizations to create sponsored content. This content is always clearly labeled as sponsored, and we maintain editorial control over what we publish.
Identification of Sponsored Content
Any sponsored content will be clearly marked with disclosures such as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or "In partnership with [Brand Name]." We ensure these disclosures are prominent and easy to understand.
Even in sponsored content, we maintain our commitment to honesty. We only partner with brands whose products or values align with our standards for quality and sustainability.
Editorial Independence
While sponsors may suggest topics or provide products for review, they do not control what we write or how we present information. We reserve the right to provide honest assessments and to decline sponsorships that don't align with our values or our audience's interests.
Brand Partnerships
We carefully select brand partnerships based on alignment with our mission to promote sustainable, ethical, and quality-focused coffee practices. When we enter into partnerships, we look for brands that share our commitment to transparency and exceptional coffee experiences.
