Affiliate Disclosure
- We buy what we test with our own money
- How we make money
Right now, no link on Morning Regular earns us money. We haven’t joined any affiliate program, and no brand has paid us, sent us free product, or given us a discount that isn’t available to every customer. If that changes, links that can earn a commission will be labeled “(paid link)”, and any page with such links will show a disclosure at the top, before the first link. We’ll also update this page with the programs we’ve joined.
Commissions will never decide what we recommend or how we rank it.
How it works
Coffee companies and affiliate networks sometimes pay websites a commission, or a flat fee, when a reader clicks a link and buys or subscribes. Once we join programs, that money will help pay for the subscriptions we buy for testing and keep the site free to read.
How we label it
Today there’s nothing to label, so you won’t see a disclosure bar or “(paid link)” labels anywhere on the site. Once we join a program:
- At the top of any page with a paid link, before the first link, you’ll see: “We may earn a commission when you buy through links on this page. It doesn’t affect our picks.” It links back here.
- Next to each link that can earn a commission, you’ll see “(paid link).” Links that don’t earn us anything aren’t labeled.
- If a program requires its own wording, we’ll use it.
Our current programs
As of Oct 8, 2026, no affiliate program has approved Morning Regular. Every brand link on the site currently goes straight to the brand’s own website and earns us nothing.
What affiliate money doesn’t change
- Which products we include. We cover subscriptions with and without affiliate programs. Some of our picks, like Dean’s Beans, have no program we could find.
- How we rank them. Rankings are based on published specs, pricing, certifications, and policies, and, once we’ve tested a product, on our hands-on results. See How we test.
- What we say. Brands don’t see or approve our pages before they’re published.
Free products and paid placement
- We buy what we test with our own money.
- If we ever receive anything else of value from a brand (free product, samples, discounts, payment, or referral credit), we’ll disclose it on every page where that brand appears.
- We don’t accept payment for placement, rankings, or reviews.
Prices and offers
Prices, discounts, and shipping terms come from the brand’s own website and show the date we checked them. They change often, so always confirm at checkout.
