De'Longhi And Nespresso Elevate The Cappuccino Experience With The New Lattissima Pro
Barista quality, espresso-based beverages with just one touch
UPPER SADDLE RIVER, N.J., Feb. 11, 2014 /CNW/ - De'Longhi, the world leader in espresso machines, and Nespresso, the pioneer and reference for highest-quality portioned premium espresso, is expanding the Lattissima range of stylish espresso machines with the introduction of the new Lattissima Pro. The Lattissima range has experienced tremendous success in the past two years thanks to the ultimate combination of De'Longhi's one touch cappuccino system and Nespresso's capsule system, which offer exceptional high-quality espresso taste and simplicity of use in an elegant design.
Building off of the success of the Lattissima Plus, the best-selling espresso machine in North America in 2013, De'Longhi's expert craftsmen designed the new Lattissima Pro with one goal in mind - to elevate the cappuccino and latte experience for today's consumer. The Lattissima Pro combines Italian design and premium materials with the latest technology, including De'Longhi's one touch cappuccino system, which produces the richest, thickest, longest lasting foam at just the touch of a button.
With the Lattissima Pro, users can now choose from six different pre-programmed espresso and milk based drinks right from an easy-to-use yet sophisticated sensor touch control panel. With Nespresso's patented Grand Cru coffee capsules, available in 22 varieties, the selection of options are endless. Lattissima Pro makes it easier than ever to create authentic barista quality espresso drinks at home with the touch of a button.
"The Lattissima Pro is a true testament to De'Longhi's dedication to both innovation and design," said Mike Prager, President and CEO, De'Longhi Group NA. "Along with our partner, Nespresso, we have experienced tremendous success with the Lattissima range here in North America with the Lattissima Plus being one of the most sought after machines and this market's best seller in 2013. The new Lattissima Pro that we've introduced today captures all the innovative elements from the Lattissima range, plus the additional features of an improved control panel interface and a new enhanced milk system.
