“Issue 37 was one of the best I’ve seen in the last 3 years. Well thought out, very interesting and informative articles.
Issue 38 - not very good at all. Lecturing the reader, page after page about cafe cleanliness felt like the copy editor was angry, and took it out on all of us. The photos were unappealing, and teaching a barista how to clean their workspace is not what I care to see.”
Hi John,
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts — we really appreciate it. We're glad to hear that Issue 37 resonated with you so strongly, and it’s great to know those articles left a lasting impression.
We're sorry that Issue 38 didn’t meet your expectations. Your feedback about the tone and focus is noted and will be shared with the editorial team. Insights like yours help us do better.
Thanks again for being part of the Standart community — we truly value your perspective.

“The content is valuable. It feels like a piece of art. Also, I think it could be more useful too. Right now, it’s very editorial. I’d love to see more practical stuff. Articles that help me do something. Maybe recipes, methods, or tips.”
Hello, Oscar,
Thanks for the feedback — very well noted. We're exploring ways to bring in more practical content alongside the editorial. Recipes, methods, and actionable tips are definitely on our radar. By the way, you can find some amazing technical tips and tricks in our Online Community too!
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and your support.

“This edition has two articles that captured my attention: "Rethinking the shot" of our dear Andre Eiermann and Kopi Luwak, magic and morals.
Every edition brings me knowledge around coffee, and I cannot stop enjoying it.”
“The content is great, there are two things i would like to see for a full 5-star experience:
One, pictures that support the texts. Often i see pictures that don’t add to the text or i see references to cafe’s/locations in the text and no pictures of said location where it would fit.
And the second, more information on pictures like when there is a photo of a cafe/person/location information on who/what/where we are.”
“Standard is a magazine for coffee lovers and people who love art and life in general. It shines light from the first page to the last one. I love it; it's my favourite magazine. It always has a little extra to surprise its readers. In addition to coffee samples from all over the world, sometimes you might find a ticket to a raffle, stickers, magnets, or postcards that make sense and make you smile!
Thank you, Standart!”
“The first 2 articles in this issue already made it very clear again what an outstanding and unusual coffee publication the Standart is. What a fascinating read!”
“I look forward to having every issue of Standart magazine in my hand. It is without doubt the most aesthetically pleasing and informative magazine, as it connects both coffee and a beautiful aesthetic. It's hard to describe that tactile quality of holding, a beautifully constructed magazine. I am always intrigued by the articles as they take me to places that I would have never ventured on my own. It is not filled with gadget sales rubbish from influential produces. For that, I am grateful. A great joy for me and thank you to the team to produce it. James”
“I want to see changes to the magazine cover. The design style, such as photos used and covers of of Standart magagines seems to have veered into a very different style. Not very inviting to me. I also feel the content has been a bit flat. Unlike what I got over 2 years ago. I know I probably won't make you change but I can make a change to my subscription easily.”
