Keurig Sues Kraft Foods Inc. For Patent Infringement
Lawsuit seeks to halt infringing sales of Tassimo T DISCS by Kraft

WATERBURY, VT and WAKEFIELD, MA (January 10, 2007) -- Keurig, Incorporated, a pioneer and leader in gourmet single cup brewing in the United States, and a subsidiary of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. (NASDAQ: GMCR), today announced that it has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Kraft Foods Inc., Kraft Foods Global, Inc. and Tassimo Corporation in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. Keurig asserts that Kraft's T DISC single-serve beverage cartridges infringe upon Keurig's United States Patent Number 6,607,762. Keurig is seeking injunctive relief preventing further Kraft Foods T DISC sales as well as damages for past infringement. Keurig's patent family which covers its K-Cup® line of single serve beverage filter cartridges is not involved in the lawsuit.

"We are committed to protecting our investments by enforcing Keurig's intellectual property rights."

The company declined further comment on the pending action.
