Corrections

If we got something wrong

Coffees go out of stock. Roasters rebrand. Decaf methods change between batches. We make mistakes. This page sets out how to tell us, how fast we fix things, and what we have corrected.

Spotted something wrong? Tell us.

The quickest way to flag an error is email. Include the page or coffee, what is wrong, and a source if you have one. We read everything that comes in.

What counts as a correction

A correction is anything factual on decaffeinate that is not right. The common ones:

We also welcome editorial feedback. If a description doesn't reflect a coffee fairly, we'd rather hear it than not. We won't always rewrite on request, but we read every message and revisit anything that lands repeatedly.

How to send a correction

Email [email protected]. Helpful information to include:

If you are the roaster and you're updating your own listing, please email from a domain we can match to your business. It speeds up verification.

How fast we fix things

Our targets:

If something needs longer (an annual review of a guide page, for example), we will reply and tell you when to expect it.

How corrections are handled

For factual corrections to a coffee listing, the change is made directly and the page's "last reviewed" date updates. We don't keep visible version history on every listing; the underlying data and editorial copy are simply corrected.

For corrections to editorial pieces (guides, "best of" lists, data journalism), the article carries a visible correction note. Significant updates are also logged on this page below.

What we don't do

We don't remove accurate but unflattering coverage on request. If something we wrote is fair, we will consider rewording, but we will not pretend something didn't happen.

We don't accept payment to remove a listing. If a roaster has discontinued a coffee, that's a correction and we'll do it. Payment for removal is not how the directory works.

We don't entertain blanket "remove all references" demands. If a specific page is inaccurate, we'll fix the inaccuracy. If a third party wants us to stop covering a coffee that continues to be sold, we'll consider it on the merits.

Recent corrections

No public corrections logged yet. When the first one is published, it will appear here.

Routine factual updates (a discontinued coffee, a moved product page, a roaster rebrand) don't appear in this log. The log is for editorial corrections and significant changes to published guides, lists, or data pieces.

Reporting something more serious? Editorial complaints, defamation concerns, or anything legal-shaped, please email [email protected] with "Editorial complaint" in the subject line.

This page is reviewed at least once a year and whenever the corrections process changes.
