Modern Standard

Modern Standard (also trading as Modern Standard Coffee) is a United Kingdom speciality coffee roaster headquartered in Fife, Scotland. The company roasts small batches to order and sells primarily through its own e-commerce website, modernstandardcoffee.co.uk, delivering whole-bean or ground coffee across the UK. Its range spans espresso blends, single-origin coffees, filter coffees and decaffeinated options, with a stated catalogue of 22 single origins, blends and decafs at the time of the homepage snapshot. The brand positions itself around freshness — coffee is roasted this week and roasted to order — and around accessibility, offering grind options matched to the customer's brewer. Modern Standard's product line includes named bestsellers such as Momentum Espresso (tasting notes of chocolate, almond and butterscotch), Brazil Santa Lucia (milk chocolate, hazelnut, almond), Ethiopia Konga Co-operative (jasmine, grapefruit, dark cocoa) and Colombia Aromas del Sur (caramel, milk chocolate, orange). It also sells a Colombia Mellow Decaf with toffee and chocolate notes, a Roaster's Choice option where the roasters select a different coffee each time, and a Mix & Match 1kg bundle allowing customers to pair any two 1kg bags. The company offers rolling, pre-paid and gift subscriptions, priced per delivery, and a loyalty scheme called Coffee Passport Points. Free delivery is available on UK mainland orders over £30. The brand markets itself as a certified B Corp, signalling a commitment to social and environmental standards, and highlights customer reviews (300+ five-star reviews cited on the homepage). It sells both direct to consumers and to offices, with bundle formats such as 2 × 1kg aimed at homes that want variety or workplaces with different tastes. The Mix & Match concept is credited on the product page to a customer suggestion, reflecting a customer-driven approach to product development. Ownership, founding year and founder details are not established by the available evidence. The company operates as a private business and does not appear to be publicly listed. Its primary market is the United Kingdom, with the roastery in Fife serving as the production base for its freshly roasted coffee.
