About

SOLO is a creative project and printed magazine that explores specialty coffee culture as a living in all its possibilities, as well as its interaction with other disciplines such as design, food culture, interiors... We’re into the stories behind the people and want to share it all creatively with you. The printed magazine is published in English and Spanish two times a year from our studio in Valencia, Spain.

SOLO offers commissioned content exclusively created for each issue. We like to see ourselves as a platform that showcases the endless creativity that is out there, matching each content with the perfect contributors. We also partner with different brands to work on events, collaborations and projects, working closely with all creative partners and brands and always connecting it with the coffee culture.

Since the start we have had the pleasure to receive support and partner with brands and projects such as: Nomad Coffee, Oatly, Sibarist, BWT, Bean Bros, AeroPress, Syra Coffee, Dutch Coffee Pack, Laser BCN, Mundaka, Alpro Barista, Cafe Imports, Best Brew, Bean Green, Moccamaster, Barista Hustle, Trabocca, La Pavoni, Rocket Espresso, Carmencita Film Lab, Sage Appliances, Tan Line, TYPICA, Rapha Mallorca, Standert and Toddy amongst others.

If you are a specialty coffee, design, fashion, lifestyle or homeware brand feel free to contact us for advertising and collaboration opportunities at adv@solomagazine.coffee. Our media kit is available upon request.

The project is created by long-term creative duo Bea Bascuñán & Albert Jornet. Graphic designers and enthusiasts about new projects, they started in independent publishing in 2011 with the foundation of the self publishing house Publications for Pleasure. Since then they have published a range of different material but after discovering the world of specialty coffee back in 2014, they decided to start the first bilingual printed magazine on specialty coffee in Spain.
