Terms and referral disclosure

We list, roasters sell

The Cupping Desk lists coffees from independent Bangalore roasters and links to their shops. We don't sell coffee, take payments, ship orders or handle returns. When you buy, your order is with the roaster, on the roaster's terms.

Prices and details

Prices, bag weights and tasting notes are copied from each roaster's own product page, with the date we checked them shown beside the price. Roasters change prices and sell out, so the roaster's site is always the one to trust. If you spot a difference, tell us and we'll fix it.

Referral links

"Buy from" links carry tags so roasters can see the visits we send them. We don't earn money from these links today. If that changes, this page and the shop will say so. No roaster pays to be listed, and a roaster appears only after agreeing to it.

The barista

The barista is an AI. Its brewing advice is general and it can get things wrong, so treat it as a starting point and trust your own taste.
