Where coffee meets print
Standart began with the idea that good coffee should be accessible to everyone.
Awarded 2017, 2018 and 2019 Best Coffee Magazine, Standart is a well-curated, independent print publication that explores the beauty and diversity of coffee culture. It started with a simple goal in mind: to celebrate the culture of specialty coffee through a marriage of thoughtful writing and beautiful design.
Every issue has 15 articles, stories, interviews or essays from some of the brightest minds in coffee, and beyond. With every issue, we take you around the globe, and through coffee-tinted spectacles, we explore the world.

In our long-form article, neuroscientist Fabiana Carvalho takes us through the very latest research on how colour literally changes the flavour of coffee.
All this and more!

"Standart's ethos is to bring specialty coffee closer to the consumer while setting trends. We are proud to be a part of their mission."
