I'm not Jim or Ken, but you can guess my reaction to reading such words from the fingers of JonR10.

For those who wonder why home roasters can provoke such a strong reaction from pros (and the people who respect them), I offer this gem from the Behmor website under "Why Home Roast?:"

One of the truest statements ever made about home roasting coffee is "the worst home roasted coffee is better than anything you can buy".

It doesn't get much more offensive than that.

It would be offensive if he had properly written "any" instead of "anything." As written, I think I'd prefer the all paid six month around the world tour.

Maybe someone needs to send him a pound of green Robusta from Viet Nam... Is "Goodyear" an SCAA accepted descriptive term for the follow of these beans?
