How we are paid, and testing
How Crema Karma may be paid, and what we do and do not do with the gear listed here.
Free Black Friday espresso deal alerts
Deal alerts when we send them during Black Friday week (Nov 23–30, 2026) and through the holidays, with checked espresso machine and grinder prices. The rest of the year: an email only when we record a real price drop. Free. Unsubscribe anytime.
After you subscribe, Kit sends a confirmation email. Click the link in it to start getting alerts. Email address only; sent through Kit.
How we are paid
Some links may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Purchase links go to Amazon, Prima Coffee, or Flair Espresso. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. We also earn a commission from Prima Coffee (through its Affiliatly program) and from Flair Espresso (through Awin) when you buy through our links, at no extra cost to you. Commissions never change which prices or products are shown.
Testing and reviews
We compile manufacturer specifications and list prices, dated retailer prices, and U.S. CPSC recall notices; we don't bench-test. Prices change often; every price shows the date it was checked.
We publish no star ratings and no first-hand review claims.
