Espresso vs Filter: Which Coffee Should You Buy for Your Machine?
-
Speciality Coffee Roasted in Scotland
Modern Standard Coffee is an independent Scottish coffee roaster based in Glenrothes, Fife, roasting in small batches every week so what lands on your doorstep is always fresh. We work directly with importers, and growers where we can, to source coffee we're genuinely excited about, then roast every lot to bring out what makes it distinctive rather than to a house style that flattens everything into sameness.
You can buy our coffee online as whole beans or ground to suit your brewer, whether that's an espresso machine, a cafetière, a V60 or a filter machine at home. Our espresso blends are built for milk and balance, our single origin coffees are for when you want to taste a specific farm, season and process, and our decaf is roasted with the same care as everything else — full flavour, no compromise. Brewing filter or pour-over? Most of the range works well that way too; just tell us your method at checkout and we'll grind accordingly.
For regular drinkers, a coffee subscription means your coffee arrives roasted to order on a schedule that suits you, with the option to skip, swap or cancel any time. We roast to order, dispatch quickly, and deliver coffee across the UK, with free delivery over £30. Speciality coffee should be genuinely good and genuinely accessible — that's the standard we roast to.
