Illy K-Cups Make Fall Debut

WATERBURY, VT -- Keurig Green Mountain Inc. and Illycaffè have entered a multiyear agreement to bring the Illy brand to Keurig K-Cups in the U.S. and Canada. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The companies plan to launch Illy coffees in K-Cup pods beginning with limited distribution in fall 2015, with plans to expand availability in 2016.

Each K-Cup will contain Illy's distinctive blend of nine Arabica beans from around the world. This blend is said to be distinguished by a balanced, smooth, rich and full-bodied taste.
