I recently got in to specialty coffee as a consumer, stumbled upon Standart, & decided to give it a shot! So glad I did! The content is interesting, well researched and written, informative, diverse, and approachable for all coffee enthusiasts. I appreciate that I can read an essay in about the time it takes me to enjoy a cup of coffee, and afterwards, I feel that I’ve learned something. Much better than scrolling through my phone! Standart is beautiful— the layouts, aesthetic, vibrant and abundant photographs, and weight of the paper make it feel luxurious and worthy of space on your coffee table. Oh and the coffee samples are amazing! I love the opportunity to try a bit of coffee (40g, enough for a cupping & a couple pour overs) from somewhere I may not have the opportunity to visit in person. The shipping can take a few weeks, but it’s well worth the wait. If you enjoy speciality coffee and are looking to bring a bit of a coffee-shop experience and indulgence to home, give it a try!
