So this was my first read of Standart (issue 23) and I was pretty excited to be reading all about coffee. There were sections that were all about coffee and these were written brilliantly with great knowledge and respect for the industry. Then unfortunately there were sections that were not so great, and to be honest, had nothing to do with coffee (about 40% overall). Those sections I felt definitely let the experience down, nevertheless I still enjoyed the magazine as a whole. For future issues I would love for there to be less of the sections that have very tenuous links with coffee. Also some of the writing specifically in these sections came across as quite pretentious in a bid to stretch the content further than it needed to be. In addition, the coffee sample was fantastic, and I absolutely love the artwork within the magazine. It would be amazing for Standart readers to have digital access to some of this artwork, i.e. using it as screensaver or backgrounds.
