Modern coffee cups from Rosenthal: enjoy your coffee with style

Whether it's first thing in the morning, during a break at work or with afternoon coffee and cake, a cup of coffee is simply a must. The right shape of cup is therefore all the more important – not only for its appearance, but also for the aroma.

But how big should a coffee cup actually be? The answer depends on the drink: while a small coffee cup is ideal for a strong espresso, a café crema or latte macchiato needs more volume. In general, coffee cups are slightly taller and narrower than tea cups, whose bulbous shape allows the aroma of tea to develop better. Classic coffee cups always have a handle – unlike coffee mugs, which often do without.

The Mug+ and The Cup+ collections represent contemporary coffee appreciation in its purest form. Available in four stylish colours – Comfort Blue, Gentle Grey, Delicate Black and Silky White – these mugs bring a modern aesthetic to the table that blends effortlessly into any interior. The coffee mugs are pleasantly light in the hand, but do not feel fragile in any way.

A special highlight is the double-walled construction: it keeps hot drinks warm for a longer period of time – without any external heat transfer. The Mug+ and The Cup+ are therefore ideal companions, whether in the morning before work or during a social coffee break.

The coffee cups from the Joyn collection combine traditional craftsmanship with modern design, bringing warmth and style to the table. Joyn is all about the idea of sharing – whether it's a morning coffee, an espresso after dinner or a relaxing cup of coffee with friends.

Made from robust stoneware and designed in a stylish handmade look, the cups unite a unique appearance with a high level of functionality. The fine texture, harmonious colour gradients and tactile surface turn every sip of coffee into a moment of pleasure.

The Mesh coffee cups bring colour, texture and lightness to the table. As a modern dining collection from Rosenthal, Mesh stands for stylish variety and urban lifestyle – designed by Gemma Bernal, who gave the collection its characteristic vibrancy with her dynamic line design.

A fine mesh relief runs through the clear, geometric shapes of the cups, creating a modern, tactile surface that appeals to the eye as well as the hand. The high-quality colour glazes in Aqua, Cream and Mountain are applied to the porcelain in a complex process, creating intense, matt colours with depth and character. Matching saucers are available, which can be perfectly combined and enrich the table setting with a touch of casual elegance.

A good coffee can do more than just invigorate – it brings people together. Whether in a small group at the breakfast table, over afternoon coffee with friends or as a quiet companion in between: coffee is a ritual that brings people together.

The right combination of bean, roast and cup makes for perfect enjoyment. The choice of coffee beans plays a central role here: while a light roast impresses with fruity and floral notes, a dark roast captivates with full-bodied aromas of chocolate or nuts. Whether it's a strong espresso, creamy cappuccino or mild café crema – each type of coffee develops its aroma best in the right cup.

Rosenthal offers stylish coffee cup sets that combine functionality and design. Modern coffee cups with saucers, on the rim of which there is room not only for the coffee spoon but also for a small biscuit, complete the tableware set. This turns a cup of coffee into a shared experience – stylish, sensual and personal.
