Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: July 27, 2026

Vigilant Coffee (vigilantcoffee.com) participates in affiliate programs operated by select retailers, manufacturers, service providers, and training providers. We may earn a commission when you make a qualifying purchase or enrollment through certain links on this site.

What this means for you

Some links on this website are affiliate links. If you click one of these links and make a qualifying purchase, enrollment, or sign-up, Vigilant Coffee may receive a commission from the retailer, manufacturer, or course provider. You will not be charged an additional fee by Vigilant Coffee for using the link.

Why we're telling you this

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires that any material connection between a publisher and the brands it discusses, including the potential to earn a commission, be clearly and conspicuously disclosed. We provide disclosures near affiliate recommendations and maintain this page to explain our affiliate relationships in greater detail.

How this affects our content

Our review scores, rankings, and recommendations are based on our own research into published specifications, manufacturer documentation, and publicly available reviews and professional discussion. Whether a product participates in an affiliate program does not determine whether we cover it, how favorably we describe it, or where it ranks against competitors. Where we're aware of a limitation in a product or program, we say so.

Products, services, and training programs

This disclosure applies equally to physical products (espresso machines, roasters, and related equipment), online and in-person training programs, and any other goods or services linked from this site.

No guarantee of results

Nothing on this website constitutes a guarantee of any outcome, including the performance of any equipment, the results of any training program, or the income potential of any coffee-related business. Individual results vary based on factors outside our control, including your market, your effort, local regulations, and general business conditions.
