Ethical Coffee Company is taking on food giant Nestlé over the sale of its coffee capsules. - swissinfo

A coffee capsule firm intends to sue Coop supermarket for breach of contract and drag Nestlé to the courts as a patent protection arm-wrestle develops into a brawl. The Ethical Coffee Company (ECC) has threatened legal action after Coop refused to stock coffee capsules compatible with Nespresso machines. A court banned two other distributors from selling the capsules earlier this month.
