A quarterly published print
publication about the beauty of specialty coffee culture. Standart magazine is about people. They are all part the movement we love.

We believe that hiqh-quality print magazines will have a growing audience in the 21st century. Reading and touching great stories, beautiful photography and fine paper is an experience that digital technology can never replace. They are the core of our content – fancy baristas, hard-working farmers, innovative roasters & dedicated coffee aficionados. We’re talking longevity here. In a world with so many distractions, notifications and products, you can keep only a few of them close – the best quality ones.

Unlike Western big cities with an on-the-go coffee culture, the Ethiopian coffee ceremony is less about haste and more about hospitality and communion.

Pacamara doesn’t do easy. One of coffee’s most temperamental hybrids, it’s a genetic gamble — bred to combine two parent varieties’ best traits, but just as likely to inherit their instability instead. The result is a cup that can swing from floral and electric to downright unpredictable, batch to batch, farm to farm.

Producers spend decades chasing its ceiling, and that’s exactly why it’s worth chasing back. Read more in ‘¿Pero por qué Pacamara?’, written by Rafael Sans (Rafael Sans) and published in our newest edition, Standart Issue 44.

- Coffee sample from Ordinary, a washed SL28/SL34 from Kamoini Factory tasting of red currant, yuzu, strawberry, and mango.

Behind every “what do you taste?” is a whole world of clutter, character, and caffeine-fuelled chaos, funky interiors, mismatched figurines guarding the espresso machine, and a workspace that looks more like a collector’s den than a coffee bar.

For Standart Issue 44, we show you Prague’s specialty scene up close with Ondřej Štokl, part sommelier, part technician, part confidant, and the head of coffee for a 30-venue restaurant group.

This issue ships with a coffee sample from Ordinary (a washed SL28/SL34 from Kamoini Factory, all red currant, yuzu, strawberry, and mango) and an exclusive coffee-twist illustration from Anton Gudim (Antоn Gudim) of YES , BUT fame — made just for our readers.

Free global shipping is also included—but stock is limited. See link in bio before it’s gone.

Specialty coffee conquered Prague years ago; keeping it conquered is Ondřej Štokl’s job. Part sommelier, part technician, part confidant, the head of coffee for a 30-venue restaurant group crisscrosses the city by tram, asking one question at every bar: What do you taste?

In Standart Issue 44, we spent a day in his slipstream and discovered a profession you didn’t know existed. Read more in print.

Subscribe today and you’ll also get a coffee sample from Ordinary (Kamoini Factory washed SL28/SL34 with tasting notes of red currant, yuzu, strawberry, mango) + an exclusive YES , BUT x Standart sticker sheet, made only for our members.

Free shipping, limited stock—see link in bio.

Yeshu Tsegaye is quick to laugh, and quicker to make you laugh. We met her in the cupping lab at , the Addis Ababa-based company where she is head of sustainability, and brewed one of the first naturals of the fresh Guji crop (strawberries, hibiscus, deliciousness). Bette Buna grows, processes, and exports coffee from Sidama and Guji, but it was founded on an idea carried over from social work: that coffee can be a vehicle for changing lives.

Over coffee, we talked about money and superstition, aid and independence, and the dream she is still working towards. Read more in Standart Issue 44.

Coffee can be complex, electric, capricious. ⚡

Take Pacamara: born in El Salvador in 1958 from a cross of Pacas and Maragogipe, it produces some of the largest beans in coffee but, at the same time, some of the most unpredictable roasts. Learn more about this fickle, unforgiving, and completely mesmerising varietal in ‘¿Pero por qué Pacamara?’, written by Rafael Sans (Rafael Sans) and published in our newest edition, Standart Issue 44.
