About us

Awarded Best Coffee Magazine 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2023 and Best European Indie Magazine of 2023 and 2026, Standart is an independent print magazine that delves into the fascinating world of coffee culture, delivering inspiring literary journeys for coffee lovers, regardless of their level of expertise.

Published in English and Japanese, and delivered quarterly to the doorsteps of more than 20,000 readers worldwide, each issue presents a harmonious blend of stories and perspectives encompassing every aspect of the coffee chain, from seed to cup.

We cover a wide range of topics, from the historical to the sociological, scientific, and cultural, approaching every theme with precision and expertise. The work of our contributors is accompanied by a beautiful aesthetic expression that will last in print, so that in the end, high-quality content that treats complex themes is presented with elegance and clarity.

For us, coffee is not an end in itself, but a means—a unique and enriching avenue for exploring lifestyle, illuminating the way we live and how we understand ourselves.

A decade of work is behind us, yet our storytelling fire still burns bright, casting shadows of tales yet untold.
