Your data
Privacy policy.
Last updated
We collect as little as a coffee site reasonably can: no accounts, no data sales, no ad-tech trackers. This page explains everything we do collect and why.
What we collect
- Aggregate analytics: privacy-respecting, cookieless pageview counts via Plausible Analytics when enabled (no cookies, no cross-site tracking, no fingerprinting).
- Newsletter: if you subscribe, we store your email address with our email provider (Buttondown) solely to send you the guides you asked for. Double opt-in is enforced: you must confirm by email before anything is sent. Unsubscribe anytime from any email.
- Contact form: messages you send us, kept only as long as needed to respond.
Affiliate cookies
When you click a shopping link, the retailer may set its own cookies to attribute the referral. Those cookies belong to the retailer and are governed by their policies. We do not receive personal data about you from retailers — only aggregate commission reports.
What we never do
- Sell or share personal data with advertisers or data brokers.
- Run third-party ad networks or cross-site trackers.
- Require an account to read anything on this site.
Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and others), you may request access, correction, deletion, or portability of your personal data. Email privacy@brewbench.coffee and we will respond within 30 days. California residents: we do not "sell" or "share" personal information as defined by the CCPA.
Children
BrewBench is intended for adults and we do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
Changes
Material changes to this policy will be announced on this page with a new last-updated date. See also our terms of use and affiliate disclosure.
Editorial record
How this page was made
Who wrote and reviewed it
Written by the BrewBench editorial team — named testers who buy every product at retail. Reviewed by Daniel Okafor, Lab Manager, and fact-checked against our published protocol before publication.
| Published protocol | How we test |
|---|---|
| Bench work | Every published score follows the written protocol |
| Products graded | 12 products with published reviews |
| Last updated | See each guide or review for its own test date |
Scope & limitations
This page is for home baristas and anyone comparing coffee gear. We cover the products and methods we have tested on our own bench; we do not cover gear we have not measured.
- We only tested the products listed in our published reviews; out of scope means no BrewBench score.
- We did not test long-term reliability beyond each review window.
Sources & corrections
- BrewBench Testing Methodology — primary source for sampling, instrumentation and the scoring rubric.
- Editorial Standards & Corrections Policy — our review process and how corrections are recorded.
- The BrewBench Team — named testers, credentials and the nine-person blind panel.
Corrections: if a measurement or verdict is wrong, we correct the page and note the change in our editorial standards. Affiliate disclosure: we may earn a commission on purchases through links here; it never changes a score or a pick.
