The collective group involved with Caffeine Motor Machines all have day jobs. We are a not-for-profit organization. We do not have non-profit legal status though. The goal is to take any donations we generate and use it to pay for more content. It will help our resource library grow and help with the cost of maintaining the site.
We do not sell ads or share our mailing list. If you want to advertise with us – Donate and we will add a link to our partner’s page. We are not here to make a profit. We are here to support the coffee tech community, The Coffee Technicians Guild and by extension the specialty coffee industry.
But we sell t-shirts and swag you ask? We have a partnership with The Digital Shrine Creative Studio. This is a trade partnership. To help reduce the cost of maintaining and updating the site. We give them the license to use our logos and swag ideas we have. In trade they help maintain the site. Most of the collective work day jobs and we need help keeping this site going.
