Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: December 18, 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Ember Roast, we believe in being completely transparent about our advertising practices and any financial relationships that may influence the content we present. This disclosure explains how we approach advertising, affiliate partnerships, and sponsored content on our website.
We are committed to maintaining your trust and ensuring you understand when content may be influenced by commercial relationships. Our recommendations are always based on genuine belief in the value of products and services we mention.
Affiliate Relationships
What Are Affiliate Programs?
Ember Roast participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the seller at no additional cost to you. These affiliate relationships help support our business and allow us to continue providing quality content and services.
Types of Affiliate Partnerships
We may participate in affiliate programs for:
- • Coffee brewing equipment and accessories
- • Coffee-related books and educational materials
- • Coffee storage solutions and accessories
- • Related lifestyle and home products
How Commissions Work
When you purchase products through our affiliate links, we earn a percentage of the sale as commission. The price you pay remains the same whether you use our link or go directly to the seller. These commissions help offset the costs of running our website and creating valuable content.
Our Product Recommendation Policy
We only recommend products we genuinely believe will benefit our community. The existence of an affiliate relationship does not influence whether we recommend a product. We base our recommendations on quality, functionality, and value, not commission rates. When we have experience with a product personally, we will say so. When we haven't used it ourselves, we'll be clear about that as well.
Sponsored Content
What Is Sponsored Content?
Sponsored content refers to articles, posts, or other materials that are created in partnership with a brand or advertiser who compensates us for featuring their products or services. This compensation may be monetary or provided in the form of free products or services.
How We Label Sponsored Content
We clearly label all sponsored content with disclosures such as:
- • "Sponsored Post"
- • "Paid Partnership"
- • "Advertisement"
- • "In collaboration with [Brand Name]"
These disclosures are placed prominently at the beginning of sponsored content to ensure transparency.
Editorial Independence
While we work with brands on sponsored content, we maintain editorial control over what we publish. We do not accept sponsored content that conflicts with our values or that we believe would not provide value to our audience. All opinions expressed in sponsored content reflect our genuine views.
Product Reviews and Gifted Items
Sometimes we receive free products from brands for review purposes. When this occurs, we disclose it in the review. Receiving a free product does not guarantee a positive review. We provide honest assessments based on our actual experience with the product.
