We review coffee gear, we run ads, and we're looking for a nonprofit partner. Here's how each of those works, what it costs, and the one condition we don't negotiate on.
We keep editorial control, and we disclose everything. If you send us a grinder, we'll say you sent it. If you pay for a placement, it'll be labelled as an ad so clearly that nobody could mistake it. And we might not like your product.
If that's a dealbreaker, genuinely no hard feelings — there are plenty of sites that'll take the cheque and write the headline you want. We're not being sniffy about it. It's just that "this site tells you the truth about coffee gear" is the entire thing we're selling, and we'd be idiots to trade it for a free kettle.
We'd like to test more of what we write about. Right now our guides are honest about the difference between "we use this daily" and "we've read everything about this and analysed the specs" — and we'd like to move more products into the first column.
So: we accept product for review. Grinders, brewers, kettles, espresso machines, scales, accessories, and green or roasted coffee.
This is deliberately the least appealing product-review pitch you'll read today. Everyone who says yes to it is someone confident in their gear, which is a useful filter for both of us.
We have inventory, and we'd rather sell it thoughtfully than carpet the site in programmatic banners for car insurance.
Rates: we're pre-launch and our traffic is modest and growing, so we'd rather quote honestly against real numbers than publish a rate card we made up. Tell us what you're trying to do and we'll tell you whether we can move the needle — including when the answer is "not yet, come back in six months."
We want to put a fixed, published percentage of every bag toward one nonprofit partner, do it in writing, register it properly, and report it quarterly with real numbers.
We haven't launched it, because we're doing the paperwork before the announcement rather than the other way around. The full pitch — what we offer, what we'd need, and the time we already got this wrong — is on the Coffee Cures page.
Assets, brand facts, quotes you can lift, and a photo of a bag that took an embarrassing amount of effort to light: the press kit.
A small team, one inbox, and a reply that usually comes within a day or two. No agency, no media-kit PDF with stock photos of people laughing at salads, no account manager named after a Norse god.
hello@shopcoffee.com — say what you want, we'll say yes or no quickly.
