Founded in 1846, Krups got into the world of business by manufacturing precision scales and industrial balances. The brand focused on these for over one hundred years and it was in 1951 that they began branching out into consumer appliances. Over thirty years later, they released their first coffee makers that took the kitchenware world by storm. Due to their determination to create products with passion and innovation, each coffee maker by Krups has the quality only achievable by more than 150 years of experience.
