1. Exact reference before brand
The family, country SKU and regional caveats are checked separately. A generic brand match never becomes a confirmed verdict.
How Coffee Gear Index makes decisions
Every page separates manufacturer facts, our interpretation and information that still requires a model-level check.
2. Three confidence states
Confirmed means an official source supports the relation. “Verify” means the family is plausible but the exact suffix or generation still matters. Incompatible relations are stated plainly.
3. No paid winner
Commercial relationships may influence which merchants are available, never the compatibility verdict or editorial order.
4. A useful answer on every page
Each comparison focuses on a useful, sourced answer instead of multiplying every theoretical machine × accessory combination.
5. Direct links to the exact item
A buying link must open the matching product page for the stated model and country. Category pages, vague searches and mismatched SKUs are not presented as buying options.
