By using bettercoffeedays.com (the “site”), you agree to the terms below. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site – it’s that straightforward.

Use of content

All articles, reviews, photos, and other content on this site are written and produced by Claire and protected by copyright. You may:

  • Read, share links to, and quote brief excerpts (with attribution and a link back) for personal, non-commercial purposes
  • Print articles for your own offline reading

You may not:

  • Republish full articles or significant portions of them on other websites, in print, or in any other medium
  • Use the content to train AI models, scrape for datasets, or feed into automated content generation systems
  • Pass off the writing as your own
  • Use any photos or graphics from the site without permission

If you’d like to syndicate, translate, or otherwise reuse content beyond a brief quote, get in touch through the Contact page. I’m generally open to it for legitimate uses.

Accuracy and editorial independence

I do my best to be accurate, but the site reflects my own opinions, hands-on experience, and research at the time of writing. Specifications, prices, and product availability change. Manufacturers update models. What was true when an article was published may not be true now.

If you spot an error or something that’s become outdated, let me know.

Reviews on this site are editorially independent. I do not accept payment in exchange for positive reviews, sponsored placements disguised as reviews, or any arrangement that would compromise the honesty of what I write. Affiliate commissions, where they apply, are described in the Affiliate Disclosure page.

No professional advice

The content on this site is for informational purposes only. Articles about espresso machines, coffee gear, and home brewing are not a substitute for the manufacturer’s manual, professional repair advice, or guidance from a certified technician.

If you’re attempting a repair, modification, or maintenance procedure based on something you read here:

  • Read your machine’s manual first
  • If the work involves electrical components, water systems, or pressurized parts and you’re not confident, hire a professional
  • Following any procedure described on this site is at your own risk

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Better Coffee Days, its operator, and its content are provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. I am not liable for any damages – direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential – arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content.

This includes, but is not limited to: damaged equipment, voided warranties, financial losses from purchase decisions, or any other harm.

External links

This site links to external websites – retailers, manufacturers, forums, and other coffee resources. I have no control over the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of those external sites. Following an external link is at your own risk, and the linked site’s own terms and policies apply once you leave bettercoffeedays.com.

Changes to these terms

I may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted here with an updated “Last updated” date. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Contact

If you have questions about these terms, or if you want to discuss permission to use content from this site, reach out through the Contact page.
