History
William B. Reily moved from Monroe, LA to New Orleans in 1902. He left his wholesale grocery business behind in order to focus on roasting, grinding and packaging coffee. Seventeen years later, after establishing the Luzianne brand coffee and teas in the New Orleans market, Mr. Reily leveraged his experience in the grocery business to create Standard Coffee.
From 1919 to the 1940s, Standard Coffee Service Company grew to include more than 900 routes in its service area. With the advent of supermarkets and transportation improvements, the usefulness of home-delivered groceries waned. In the 1960s, the company dropped home delivery of sundry items, focusing instead on delivering to offices.
In 1967 Standard Coffee Service Company changed its name to Standard Office Coffee Service Company and has continued introducing products and services such as thermal brewing systems for freshness (1987), a water filtration process, Standguard Water Quality Assurance (1991) and its Individual Brew Technology (IBT) for one-cup coffees and teas (2004).
The Standard Companies, Inc., d/b/a Standard Coffee Service Company is one of the largest service companies in the country, providing brewed beverages, equipment, condiments, water filtration systems and related items to businesses throughout North America.

Environmental initiatives
Standard Coffee Service Company (Standard) is taking steps to reduce its environmental footprint in both the products it offers and the way in which it does business. The company offers an ecotainer, a paper hot cup made from fully renewable materials, as well as reusable mugs and tumblers. The Standguard water filtration system promotes water and energy conservation while minimizing the downstream waste and plastics associated with bottled water. Standard is moving toward a paperless policy, whereby materials are placed online via Standard’s intranet portal and uploaded to staff, rather than printed and either mailed or faxed to field representatives.
