Our process
Born from a kitchen-table problem: keep the caffeine, lose the burn. Built like a family business: stubborn, careful, and a little obsessed with getting the pour right.
01
Caffeine, non-negotiable
We're a family-owned operation running on the same fuel as a lot of you: early opens, late closes, and the quiet math of a small business. Cold brew is not a side project here—it is the product line we stand behind.
02
When hot brew stopped cooperating
For years, a fresh pour did the job. Then the acid from a brewed cup started fighting back. GERD showed up, and suddenly "just grab a coffee" wasn't simple anymore.
03
Cold brew flipped the switch
Cold brew was the pivot: slower extraction, a gentler ride for my stomach, and the steady lift I still needed. It didn't feel like a compromise. It felt like finding the right tool after using the wrong one for too long.

Share the good part
Daily Standard is us bottling what we actually reach for: small batches, straight talk, and cold brew we are proud to ship from our house to yours—nothing else on the label for now.
