INFLUENCERS, REVIEWS, GIFTS

Coffea Circulor receives a large number of requests for support from media, hobbyists, professionals, bloggers, "influencers" and "reviewers".

To help us to review requests more efficiently, we ask all applicants to state:

• Your name, full contact details, affiliation, and age.
• Your intent, angle, choice of media, deadline and the anticipated publication date.
• Your target audience.
• Your date for publication and deadlines.
• Your goal and outreach scope.

Submit your request here after you have read the below terms and conditions.

We will reimburse your spendings partial or in full for your service after your review or "influencing" with above submission of above requested details.
