About CupWander
We make short, opinionated guides to specialty coffee for people who travel.
How we choose
Every listing is researched from multiple reputable sources (specialty coffee press, established guides, roasters' own channels), then checked for whether the shop is still open. We keep lists short on purpose. We note when each guide was last verified, and we re-check guides regularly.
Editorial policy
- Sponsors can never buy a place on our curated lists. Listings are editorial decisions only.
- Sponsored placements are always labeled "Sponsored" and kept separate from the list.
- A sponsor can appear on a list only if it earned that place on its own merits, independent of any deal.
How we make money
Our guides are free. We earn from clearly labeled sponsorships and affiliate links (for example coffee gear, beans, hotels and tours). If you buy through an affiliate link we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
