Good coffee. You can see it, smell it, taste it. With a beautiful cup you can also feel it. Accompanied by small coffee roasters, baristas and other coffee enthusiasts we delved deeply into the world of coffee in order to learn how to make it a really good beverage. And armed with this knowledge we set out to design the right cups for savouring it.

When developing the cup designs and all their details such as size, wall thickness, rim design, inner shape, handles and the fit on the saucers, designer Barbara Schmidt had only one thing in mind: To artfully design them as tools that best accentuate the aromas and flavours of coffee.
