“At the beginning of magazine they stated that reading Standart is like visiting your favorite cafe and striking up a chance conversation. That's exactly how I felt reading it. I like the graphics. I love certain consistent parts - e.g. there is always an article about some coffee producing country, an interview with cafe owner/barista and one article describing coffee culture in a particular city.”
“I like that each issue deals about coffee in a broader perspective. History of coffee, how it is grown, the social impact, economics etc. You even sometimes use coffee as en excuse to write about things completely unrelated to coffee, which I find interesting. I miss though technical articles about coffee making, not gear reviews, but techniques on how to prep different methods, how to train our taste, choose and buy our coffee, store it, etc. There are some article about this. I'd just like to see more of them. Thanks for the work.”
“The magazine is very interesting, with several specific coffee content. But the coffee that came from the sample was a little disappointing. The experience was good at drinking a decaffeinated coffee, but his grain was very broken and ugly. I hope this Feedback helps the magazine choose better coffees. Thank you.”
“Not bad, not great. A lot of very detailed info about Countries of origin, but also a lot of Ads from "Partners" which is just pure sponsoring, Acaia, Mahlkönig, etc. The coffee sample delivered, did not even have a roast date, which is a no-go in the specialty coffee scene. Expected a little more after the hype around this magazine. Turns out for me, that it is rather a bought/paid hype.”
“The magazine arrived here in Brazil just a couple of weeks after the purchase, packed with the coffee sample (incredible, BTW). The magazine itself is an amazing piece of art, leveraging leisure moments. Definitely recommend it.”
“The purchase and shipping process was really smooth. I really liked the magazine and the coffee samples is a nice bonus...I just wished it was a bit more as 35grs is a little weird when it comes to splitting for a couples of recipes.”
“This latest issue especially captivated me! I lost my partner of 7 years in March and we bonded over our deep love of coffee, me mainly drinking good coffee and him, all the science behind it! I still subscribe to standard and find it gives me a great outlet to channel my love I shared with Anthony. Love how this issue came with some great decaf beans too as I’ve been drinking a few too many cups lately to help cope with grief”
“I have been a subscriber for over a year and have loved every bit of it. Great, beautifully designed, very well written and creative! The coffee samples are also always a true delight!”
“Great magazine for coffee aficionados and non. It’s full of stimulating and insightful topics. Cherry on top is that it comes with a sample of delicious coffee. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.”
