Issue 18: Toilettes, critique, and coffee
The idea of critique, in its many forms, guides Standart Issue 18. From pieces that explore the role criticism plays in our everyday lives and how we can turn it into constructive fuel for improvement, to a critical exploration of how we define ‘premium’ in paying farmers a decent price for their work, to how Modernist writers Virginia Woolf and T. S. Eliot used coffee as a literary device to explore the fabric of consciousness.
In Standart Issue 18, we ask coffee creative and activist Umeko Motoyoshi what’s pissing her off and task a coffee lover with visiting New York cafés and providing critical reviews of their bathrooms.⠀
⠀
We debunk coffee myths with World Barista Champion Gwilym Davies, explore Mexico as a country of origin, discover experimental coffee varieties with Daterra Coffee, and talk to coffee pros like Michelle Johnson, Scott Rao or James Hoffmann in this issue's long-form treatment on the subject of critique in specialty coffee by Noa Berger. ⠀

Testimonials
Standart captures the intersection of coffee’s hospitality and science in a way that few others have ever achieved. Their dedication to highlighting pillars of the coffee industry, scientific innovations, and history through the lens of art has made them a must have on my bookshelf for years.
Morgan Eckroth | 2022 US Barista Champion & Coffee Content Creator
A publication that dreams big and deftly blends artistry, intellect, and a love for coffee into a delicious mix of articles with generous spirit, relevant material, and just the right amount of seriousness.
Geoff Watts | Co-founder of Intelligentsia Coffee
The articles in Standart cover a wide range of topics pertinent to the industry. The production value of the magazine is excellent, including the layout, photography, and illustration.
Jessica Godfrey | International Marketing at Coffee Supreme
Standart's success surprised me at first, as I had thought long-form print was dying. But it's gratifying to see coffee lovers embrace a magazine that dives deep, intelligently, into issues that matter to our industry.
Scott Rao | Consultant, coffee professional
Standart is the one and only coffee-centred magazine that tells culture diversity through coffee. It has intelligent contents and design, and is full of fact-based articles that stimulate my intellectual curiosity.
Hidenori Izaki | 2014 World Barista Champion
You’ll just as easily read a profile with a barista champion right after a piece exploring tasseography, the art of reading tea and coffee leaves. Content is at the forefront in Standart.
Jenn Chen | Coffee Content Creator
Standart is highest end celebration of coffee as art, science and people. A masterpiece of quality journalism advancing the understanding of all things coffee.
Tim Schilling | Former CEO of World Coffee Research
