Krups is a storied German manufacturer of kitchen appliances, originally founded in Solingen in 1846 by Robert Krups. The brand initially achieved fame for its high-precision scales and industrial balances before pivoting toward consumer appliances, particularly coffee makers and countertop kitchen electronics, during the post-war economic boom in the 20th century.

Today, Krups is a key brand within the portfolio of Groupe SEB, a French multinational conglomerate that is the world leader in small domestic equipment. While the brand maintains its German engineering heritage and design aesthetic, the manufacturing of its consumer electronics, including waffle makers and griddles, has largely transitioned to global production hubs in China to leverage large-scale manufacturing efficiencies. The brand continues to be a global leader in the premium kitchen appliance market, focusing on robust construction and culinary precision.
