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.

Napkins, glitter, and coffee
Standart Issue 22 enjoys an undeniable theme of animals. In these isolating times, people perhaps more than ever have turned to pets to satisfy many of the social joys usually inspired by interactions with friends, family, colleagues, and their fellow citizens.
We explore whether Kopi Luwak coffee can be ethical; how the modern allongé is perhaps the fruitiest espresso you can taste with Scott Rao; and passion’s path to coffee with Kenji Kojima of Fuglen Coffee.
Learn about the history of cat cafés and what their popularity can tell us about the way we live in the city; how farmers are producing small lots of specialty in Typhoon-threatened Japanese islands; and what Lima’s contemporary coffee scene offers the specialty connoisseur.
