Home Coffee Journal uses an AI-assisted publishing workflow with automated checks and a review queue. This page explains what that means and where readers should place responsibility.
Editorial personas
Maya Brewer, Theo Park, and Nina Cho are fictional editorial personas used to organize recurring topics and writing perspectives. Their names and profile narratives are editorial presentation, not biographies, credentials, or proof of first-hand use. Home Coffee Journal is responsible for what it publishes.
Use of AI and automation
Automated and generative tools may assist with topic research, outlines, drafts, editing suggestions, metadata, diagrams, or images. Tool output can be incomplete or wrong, so a confident statement is not proof of accuracy.
Editorial standards
Drafts are held for editorial review before publication. Brewing claims should use explicit dose, water, temperature, grind, timing, and observable taste or drawdown cues. Product claims should be checked against current manufacturer documentation or other reliable sources, and first-hand testing must never be implied unless documented. News and safety-sensitive claims require named, current sources.
Images
Some images may be generated or edited with AI and may be illustrative rather than photographs of the exact brew, bean, or product discussed. Do not use an image alone to judge equipment compatibility or a brewing result.
Corrections and feedback
We may revise articles when new evidence, product changes, or reader feedback identifies a useful improvement. Report a material issue through the contact page and include the article URL, disputed passage, and supporting detail.
