COFFEE PARTNER
MODERN STANDARD COFFEE
Modern Standard are a female-founded, specialist roastery based in Fife in Scotland, on a mission to make exceptional coffee accessible while caring for people and the planet.
They work directly with farmers around the world, paying fair prices and building long-term relationships that support communities and ensure consistently high-quality beans.
From bright, fruit-forward Ethiopian lots to the rich, chocolatey notes of their signature 'Momentum' blend, every cup celebrates the craft and care behind the beans. The state-of-the-art roastery allows them to create both seasonal small-batch coffees and larger-scale blends without ever compromising on quality.
Modern Standard produce over 100L of coffee chaff a day. This is produced when roasting the coffee, and it has a biscuity smell. It is a nutrient dense by-product of roasting, and Modern Standard donate it to a local community garden, The Ecology Centre, to enrich their compost.
