Standart began with the idea that good coffee should be accessible to everyone.

Awarded 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2021 Best Coffee Magazine at The Sprudgie Awards, Standart is a well-curated, quarterly 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 great writing and beautiful design.

Every issue has 144 pages printed on high-quality FSC-certified paper with 15 articles, stories, interviews or essays from some of the brightest minds in coffee, and beyond.

Standart Issue 27 is here! We’ve taken care to celebrate the unexpected, strange, off-kilter, and odd in this issue. For instance, you wouldn’t expect us to profile coffee growing in the Italian region of Sicily, would you?

We profile barista and business owner Giulia Carrelli of Trouble Coffee Co. in San Francisco, looking at how she’s driven her business to success, through the good times and the bad.

We look at the complicated delivery system involved in getting astronauts their coffee fix during stints in zero-gravity, how the pandemic era has affected how we linger and loiter in cafés, and ask whether coffee can actually, scientifically speaking, taste sweet. This is just a teaser of what’s in store. You’re in for a treat.
