Advertising Disclosure

Affiliate Program Participation

Caravan Brew participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn commissions when you click on certain links and make purchases through our website.

When we include links to products, services, or coffee suppliers, some of these links may be affiliate links. If you make a purchase through these links, we receive a commission at no additional cost to you. This compensation helps support our operations and allows us to continue providing valuable content.

We are selective about the affiliate programs we join and only promote products and services that align with our values and that we believe will genuinely benefit our audience.

Commission-Based Recommendations

Our affiliate relationships include the following types of arrangements:

• Coffee equipment and brewing tool suppliers
• Specialty coffee roasters and retailers
• Educational resources and coffee courses
• Coffee accessories and related products
• Books and publications about coffee

When you see product recommendations or links on our site, please assume they may be affiliate links unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Product Recommendation Policy

While we may earn commissions through affiliate links, our recommendations are based on the following principles:

• We only recommend products and services we believe in and would use ourselves
• Personal experience and thorough research guide our recommendations
• We clearly distinguish between paid and organic content
• Affiliate relationships do not compromise our editorial integrity
• We provide honest assessments, including potential drawbacks
• Your trust is more valuable to us than any commission

Financial Relationship Transparency

We disclose all material connections with the companies and products we recommend. If we have a financial relationship with a brand or supplier mentioned on our website, we will clearly indicate this through disclosure statements near the relevant content or links.

Sponsored Posts and Partnerships

From time to time, we may publish sponsored content on our website. Sponsored content is material that has been paid for by a brand, company, or organization.

All sponsored content will be clearly labeled as such with designations like "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," "Advertisement," or similar transparent language. We maintain editorial control over all content and will not publish sponsored material that conflicts with our values or misleads our audience.

Sponsored content may include articles, guides, reviews, or promotional materials that align with our coffee-focused mission.

Sponsored Content Guidelines

Our approach to sponsored content follows these principles:

• Clear and prominent disclosure of sponsorship
• Maintaining editorial independence and honest opinions
• Only partnering with brands that align with our values
• Ensuring content provides genuine value to our audience
• Distinguishing sponsored content from organic editorial content
• Refusing sponsorships that compromise our integrity

Brand Partnerships

We may form long-term partnerships with coffee brands, equipment manufacturers, and related businesses. These partnerships may involve various forms of compensation, including monetary payment, free products, or services. All such relationships will be disclosed when relevant content is published.

Content Authenticity

Whether content is sponsored or not, we are committed to providing authentic, accurate, and helpful information. Sponsored relationships do not influence our commitment to quality and honesty in all content we produce.
