“I enjoy this magazine very much. I like that it is international and covers coffee culture in places I never thought about; it makes me want to visit. Combined with excellent graphics, stellar photography, and distinguished writing, it's an all-around aesthetic treat and always accompanied by some tasty coffee. ”
Hey Matt!
Michal from team Standart here! I've just e-mailed you. Would love to see if I've understood your review correctly. If you haven't received the two issues of Standart we've sent you yet, then we'll figure out where they are together. Looking forward to hearing back!
Yours in caffeination,
Michal
“Excellent Mag for more than just coffee enthusiasts.
The issues kept me company while tending to my offset smoker / BBQ for 10 hours or so during the summer.
I always enjoy receiving each issue - the coffee is a bonus & I'll read it a couple of times.
I love the printed version - to get away from a screen & take it on the go in the wild...”
“Again a wonderful issue! Love the photoshoots and interesting articles. It feels like more depth in the articles, hope that stays that way.
I have the feeling it's getting better each time!”
“One of my favourite issues to date, really enjoyed the feature about Calcio Lecco and the coffee liqueur, keep up the great work, from all over the world.”

“The very definition of a literary masterpiece!! Standart magazine represents all that is coffee, culture, and community! Each page baptizes the senses in a treasure trove of informative and edgy coffee dialogue, while gently drawing the reader into the soothing and warm embrace of the highest quality coffee. In simpler terms, this magazine is THE SH$T!!”

“Quality journalism and photography. Been a subscriber since the early days.
Love the thought that goes into each issue.
Also, the community part of it is an amazing add-on!
My only personal grudge is the new font selection and design. The two/three different font styles are really not great on the eyes and the reading experience.
But I do love the smaller size as its easier to carry.”
“The personal connection (element of coffee) fostered through the personal stories was a nice touch in issue #32. I also liked the tie-in with music. The images were great, too. A diverse topic pool keeps it interesting as well.”
“Great design and feel, full of curated content that proves current and relevant. Also, very important: excellent amazing 50g coffee samples that come with it (though 80g-100g would be so much better).”
“Magazine is consistently interesting. I look forward to every issue. However there are times that I find pieces too "inside baseball" -- i.e. more for industry professionals rather than just ordinary coffee lovers -- and sometimes they veer into pretension. I mean there are times when the choice of subjects and the writing style almost feels like parody. So I think the editing could use some irony or humour some time to avoid taking itself to seriously. But I really like reading it! Very unique stories and perspectives! And love the coffee samples!”
