Intellectual property
All content on the Site — including text, images, photographs, graphics, logos, video, and the underlying compilation — is owned by Espresso and Machines or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
You may share short quotes or excerpts from articles for review, commentary, or reference purposes, provided you include clear attribution and a link back to the original article. You may not republish full articles, substantial excerpts, or photographs without our express written permission.
Brand names, product names, and trademarks mentioned on the Site (such as Breville, De’Longhi, La Marzocco, etc.) are the property of their respective owners. Reference to these names does not imply endorsement by or affiliation with those companies.
Affiliate links and recommendations
The Site contains affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. For full details, see our Affiliate Disclosure.
Product recommendations on the Site reflect our honest opinions based on hands-on testing. They are not professional purchasing advice tailored to your specific situation. You are responsible for evaluating whether a product is right for your needs, budget, and circumstances.

The Site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components, nor do we warrant that any information on the Site is accurate, complete, current, or reliable.
Espresso machine technology, pricing, and availability change frequently. While we strive to keep content up to date, information may become outdated. Always verify current specifications and pricing directly with the manufacturer or retailer before purchasing.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Espresso and Machines and its operators, contributors, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, data, use, or goodwill — arising out of or related to your use of the Site, whether based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other legal theory.
Our total liability for any claim related to the Site is limited to the amount you have paid to access the Site (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is zero for free use of the Site).
Third-party links and content
The Site contains links to third-party websites and content (including affiliate links to retailers). We do not control or endorse those third-party sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, privacy practices, or terms.

Modifications to the Site and Terms
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time, with or without notice. We may also update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Site after changes indicates your acceptance of the revised Terms. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows when these Terms were most recently revised.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Site will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
