About

Specialty Coffee Magazine is a global, English-language magazine about specialty coffee. We publish news and features every day.

We follow the whole chain. That starts on the farm and moves through the mill, the roastery, the bar and the home kitchen.

What we cover

• News: Openings, closings, buyouts, new laws, tariffs and the moves the big coffee chains are making.
• Origins: Farms, harvests, processing methods, green coffee prices and the weather in producing countries.
• Sustainability: Climate, coffee diseases, new coffee species, deforestation rules and what farmers are paid.
• Science: What studies say about coffee, caffeine and health, explained without the hype.
• Competitions: Barista and brewing championships, results, winners’ recipes, festivals and expos.
• Gear: Grinders, espresso machines and brewers, tested and reviewed, plus recipes and brewing technique.
• Cafés: City guides, new cafés and roasteries, and coffee travel worth planning a trip around.
• Culture: People profiles, history, coffee habits around the world and the moments that went viral.

How we work

Every story names its sources. When a story is based on another outlet’s reporting, we link to the original. We correct errors openly and note the change on the article.

We keep advertising clearly labelled and separate from editorial. Advertisers never see a story before it runs.
