Illy Issimo

illy issimo released in new york
Yes, I know summer is still months away but I still can't help dreaming of those warm, sunny Southern California summer days chillin by the pool while sippin a cool, tasty beverage. While a cold beer is usually my preferred pool-side drink, coffee maker illy has partnered up with Coca-Cola to create a new line of premium ready-to-sip coffee drinks: the illy issimo. There are three varieties, each served in a stylish can (descriptions below are from the company):

Caffè: bold and energizing, full-bodied character, real italian chilled caffè experience

Cappuccino:
intense uplifting aromas of illy espresso, blended with velvety milk and exotic dark cacao

Latte Macchiato: energizing, smooth fresh illy espresso experience, swirled with pleasurable milky notes

Sounds delish. Unfortunately, only New Yorkers are able to enjoy the drinks while those of us in SoCal will have to wait until later this year before we can get our hands on some (expansion plans in Los Angeles).

The Caffe and Latte Macchiato is really good. The Cappuccino on the hand is little to sweet for my taste. Overall, it kicks the bottle and can versions from Starbucks.
