Nestle, who have been selling the same kind of device very successfully in Europe, last year had a patent for their pods revoked across Europe[0]. Their main defence against third-party pods was suing for IP infringement apparently. Those coffee machines are super convenient so it's nice that we're starting to see a variety of coffees available for them. If nothing else because who wants to drink one brand of coffee all their life? They recently released the technical specifications for the pods too. Hopefully the other manufacturers will decide or be forced to follow suit. 0: http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304066404579129103462582822 http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB100014240527023040664045791291...
