260 years of porcelain design “handmade in Berlin”—that is our story. Using natural raw materials and filtered Berlin tap water, we craft one-of-a-kind pieces of enduring value, the highest quality, and exceptional craftsmanship. Iconic collections such as KURLAND, developed in 1790, rank among the best in their field worldwide. The latest additions to the collection—the KPM To-go Mug and the KURLAND To-go Box—are seen as symbols of a living symbiosis between tradition and the spirit of the times, style and environmental awareness—simply sophisticated and sustainable companions for the whole day that you won’t want to be without. The motto: “NEVER WITHOUT MY KPM.”
A morning without a hot cup of coffee or tea? Enjoying coffee on the go? But please, do it in style! Thanks to its compact size, this porcelain to-go mug fits seamlessly into any everyday situation and offers another advantage in addition to its sustainable, stylish design: Thanks to the high-quality, tight-sealing lid made of thermoplastic elastomer—guaranteed to be free of plasticizers—you can safely carry coffee from your favorite café—and it tastes even better that way!
A MASTERPIECE IS CREATED
The production of porcelain is a labor-intensive process that requires a great deal of experience, patience, and skill. Even today, the " KPM Berlin " still produces its wares almost entirely by hand, using a method that has been passed down for 260 years.
The “white gold” of the Royal Porcelain Manufactory is produced exclusively at its Berlin facility using three natural raw materials—kaolin, feldspar, and quartz—according to a secret recipe. It takes 29 steps, carried out by 25 artisans over 14 working days, to create a single white “ cup .” Hand-sorted through ten quality control checks, it is a piece of Berlin’s history and a one-of-a-kind item, crafted with a special focus on sustainable techniques and conditions, as well as a mindful use of natural resources.
The evening get-together gets an extra upgrade with the champagne edition of the to-go cup: Hand-painted in regal colors by the master painters at the Royal Porcelain Manufactory in Berlin and adorned with real gold applied and polished by hand, this cup—whether used with or without a lid—ensures a special way to end the day.
Nearly every KPM piece can be customized by our master painters in just 10 business days. Discover our KPM Porcelain Configurator, which lets you personalize the KPM To-go mug exactly as you envision it.
TO TAKE AWAY, PLEASE!
With the set featuring the KURLAND To-go Box and To-go Cup, you can now carry your breakfast, lunch, and dinner in style. Perfect for takeout during your lunch break or a quick after-work snack.
Designed by KPM’s chief designer, Thomas Wenzel —who also created the iconic to-go cup—the box now demonstrates that the classicist KURLAND relief, featuring drapery, egg-and-dart moldings, and pearls, is a timeless classic—handcrafted, of course, at the historic manufactory in Berlin-Tiergarten.
Like the to-go cup, the to-go box is also dishwasher-safe.
We have always been committed—both as a company and in our manufacturing operations at our historic production site—to environmentally, economically, and socially responsible values aimed at protecting our environment. In this context, the KPM To-go cup now takes on a particularly prominent and obvious significance: In Germany, approximately 320,000 disposable cups for hot beverages are used every hour, of which up to 140,000 are “to-go” cups. That amounts to nearly three billion disposable cups per year.* Since the launch of the KPM To-Go Cup in 2018, over 50,000 units have been sold. Each one replaces a large number of disposable cups, thereby making a visible contribution to reducing single-use waste. As an ambassador for mindful consumption and lifestyle choices, this contemporary cup also raises awareness of sustainable practices in everyday life.
