The collection, co-branded Cuisinart for illy, will feature illy’s proprietary iperEspresso capsule system, a patented two-stage extraction process producing ‘exceptional results’ through rapid infusion and extraction during the brewing cycle.
The Cuisinart for illy product line is scheduled to debut by the first quarter of 2013 at Cuisinart and illy’s retail channels, encompassing department and specialty stores, including online segments.
