“I’ve never paid attention to any of the research, and I’m still alive – and drinking a lot of coffee.”

Few people know that Mr. Rooney’s 90 second opinion pieces for “60 Minutes” are actually cut down from half-hour diatribes. Sprudge.com has obtained the unreleased version of this particular rant, wherein Mr. Rooney tears apart the GCQRI, calling their mandate “mumbo jumbo” and accusing them of “gumming up the works” for the common coffee drinker. He goes on to assail Jeff Babcock, Todd Carmichael, Giorgio Milos and other industry leaders for their lack of “spit-shine” and “gumption”.

“I don’t like lattes that have intricate patterns; it makes me think that the barista is spending too much time pouring and not enough time brewing. If I wanted a picture I’d buy a painting.”
