Office coffee in Scotland: machines, speciality coffee and support

Trusted by Standard Life, Baillie Gifford and Rockstar Games in Edinburgh. Coffee machines, freshly roasted speciality coffee, installation, barista training and servicing for workplaces across Scotland, from Scotland's biggest speciality coffee roastery, in Glenrothes, Fife.

The Modern Standard Coffee roastery in Glenrothes, Fife

A Scottish roaster for Scottish workplaces

Great coffee changes how a workplace feels, and it's one of the easiest things to get wrong. We're not a vending company bolting on coffee, and we're not a roaster dropping off bags of beans and disappearing.

We roast to order five days a week at our roastery in Glenrothes, Fife, less than an hour from Edinburgh. Our Scotland account manager visits customers in person, our Scotland barista trainer trains your team on site or at the roastery, and our sister company, Modern Standard Service, installs and services coffee machines across Scotland.

That means one team for the machine, the coffee, the training and the repairs, with no third-party service agents in the middle.
