A morning without a hot cup of coffee or tea? Coffee on the go? But in style, please! Thanks to its compact size, the porcelain to-go cup fits easily into all everyday situations and has another advantage in addition to its sustainable and stylish character: thanks to the high-quality, tight-fitting lid made of thermoplastic elastomer, guaranteed without plasticizers, coffee from your favourite café can also be transported safely - which tastes even better!
A MASTERPIECE IS CREATED
The production of porcelain is complex and requires a great deal of experience, patience and skill. KPM Berlin still manufactures almost exclusively by hand and according to a process that has been passed down for 260 years.
The "white gold" of the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur is made exclusively in Berlin from three natural raw materials - kaolin, feldspar and quartz - according to a secret recipe. It takes 29 steps, which are carried out in 14 working days by 25 artisans, to produce a single white cup . Hand-picked in ten quality controls, it is a piece of Berlin history and a unique item, made with a special focus on sustainable techniques and conditions as well as a conscious use of natural resources.
The champagne edition of the to-go cup is an additional upgrade for the evening aperitif: hand-painted in royal colors in the master painting of the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin and decorated with real, hand-applied and polished gold, the cup also ensures a special end to the day with or without a lid.
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 cup you envision it.

KPM+ ANDY REMENTER
Environmental awareness has style and is casual. Or: KPM Berlin meets Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin meets Andy Rementer. The last cup cup (or the last, as there are two equally strikingly casual models) you will ever have to buy is designed by American artist and illustrator Andy Rementer. Rementer loves to play with typography and colorful surfaces, and here he has focused on typography. What he also loves: coffee. He didn't reveal whether he prefers to drink it in the "Take a break" cup or the "Here we go again" version, but he did say: "Black and plenty of it."
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 nowcup on a particularly prominent and obvious significance: In Germany, approximately 320,000cup hot beverages are used every hour, of which up to 140,000 are cup . That amounts to nearly three billion disposable cups per year.* Since the launch of KPM To-go 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 raises awareness of sustainable practices in everyday life.
According to the International Justice Mission (IJM), 40.3 million people are currently living in slavery, 10 million of whom are children. Royal Porcelain Manufactory Berlin is positioning itself as a responsible company in a global movement for more togetherness, equal opportunities and a positive contribution to shaping the future. Together with IJM, we are making a statement in the fight against slavery, exploitation and violence against children in the cocoa industry in Ghana, one of the largest cocoa producers in the world, and launching a blue limited edition of the to-go cup as a striking ambassador in the public space against the silence about the social catastrophe of modern slavery.
