Id hate to shine that light in his bedroom  >:D

IT could be useful BUT some coffee's like the Eth's for example, it is all the defects that give it it's character and stance that we like.

I would think if you looked carefully enough at the beans you could see really bad ones at the get go and grab them without having to gas light them.

Once you roast them, they all pretty much look the same anyways.  :)
