We do everything possible to ensure that you are happy with your purchase and if you would like any advice before or after purchasing from us we always suggest checking the FAQ's tab on our product pages. If you aren't able to find what you need we can be contacted by email or telephone and we are always happy to help.


Standard Guarantee - Barista & Co Branded Products

Our products carry a standard manufacturers guarantee of a minimum of 1 year, often longer (please see FAQ's on product page). We only offer this guarantee on products purchased through our website (www.baristaandco.com), if you have purchased from another retailer you will have to review their returns policy

 

The guarantee does not include:

 

  • Paper filters
  • Products with nylon filters (Brew It Stick)
  • Coffee press stainless steel filters
  • Glass components
  • Coffee

 

What faults are covered?

 

  • Structural faults and defects
  • Defects from reasonable usage

 

What isn't covered?

 

  • Accidental damage
  • Broken glass
  • Cosmetic marks and peeling from use (scratches and coating)
  • Rust spot marks on stainless steel products - this is caused by products not being dried correctly or being used with damaging detergent. See care instructions in the FAQ of the product page.
  • Damage from dishwasher cleaning (hand wash only products)


We manufacture many products that contain glass and it is the most common form of damage. Due to the nature of glass there are many variables that can cause breakage. We use a high grade heat resistant borosilicate glass but this does not mean it is resistant to breakage. We always suggest buying spares with your initial purchase, particularly if you are not based in the UK and face higher shipping costs.

If your purchase is covered by this guarantee, please log into your account and request return. You will need to use the email associated with your order, you do not need a password.
