Editorial policy

How Espresso Machines writes, sources, and updates guides.

Authorship

Articles are operator-published. Drafts are produced with AI assistance. The operator decides what is queued, generated, and published. There is no separate named author byline on each guide.

AI assistance

Generation uses an editorial prompt that forbids firsthand-testing claims, invented product models, invented specifications, invented prices, and invented Amazon ratings or review counts. The prompt also forbids embedding fabricated product cards in the article body. Using AI does not make a statement a measured test result.

Review

Publication happens through the operator’s content workflow. This site does not claim an independent fact-checking desk, a laboratory review, or a named specialist editor for every page.

Sourcing

Guide structure comes from a planned title, intent, cluster, and product family. Product candidates shown after publication come from Amazon catalog search results that pass relevance filters. Catalog details are Amazon’s, not invented here. An API result is not evidence that anyone on this site used or tested the product.

Updates and corrections

When a guide is revised, a new version can be published in place of the previous one. There is no public corrections inbox beyond the contact page. If a reader finds a factual error, the operator can publish a replacement version.
