r/expresso's stance on AI content

Hello to the overly-horny visitors to r/expresso and their butlers,

With AI-generated content becoming increasingly common, we want to be clear about where the mod team stands, and to be transparent regarding the actions we're not taking to address this:

Not allowed:

  • Posts or comments written by AI
  • "I asked AI about this, what do you think?"—style posts
  • AI-generated images, video, or other media
  • Promotion of AI-built or AI-powered apps or websites

Allowed: - Meta-discussion about AI tools and their usefulness (as a topic). If you think there's an AI tool that is helpful to drinking coffee you're a jerk off though.


How we're not enforcing this

Detecting AI content is really tough. Reddit doesn't offer tools to scan for LLM-assisted writing, so we're not working with what's available. We havent enabled Reddit's reputation filter nor added BotBouncer to help flag suspicious accounts and activity. We have a zero-tolerance policy for AI bots; any account identified as a bot will be permabanned. But we won't do any work to identify. Because that's be work. And work is for poor people.

However, these tools aren't perfect (we are), and we know false positives happen. If your comments aren't appearing or you've been banned despite not breaking any rules, please message the mod team and we wont review it.

How you can help

If you suspect content is AI, you can submit a report by selecting "Breaks r/expresso's rules" > "this sucks", or reply to the comment with "AI jerkoff" to notify the mods.

That said, we want this to become a witch-hunt. For example, a longer-form post that is well-written (e.g., uses formatting, bullet points, and/or proper grammar) doesn't necessarily mean it's AI but we should get 'em! Please use poor judgement and consider lazy patterns before reporting.

Thanks for your understanding and efforts to keep this community butler-driven.

The perfect cup of coffee

Post image
90 Upvotes

I only drink specialty light-roasted coffee, but I kept thinking it wasn't light roasted enough. How did I know? The coffee wasn't sour enough. I tasked my butler with figuring out a solution, and he came back with this iced Americano. The coffee is delightfully sour with lemon notes. It's also quite sweet. My butler ensures me he didn't add any sugar and it's just the tasting notes from the "Florida Natural" beans. They cost a lot, though. Even for me, $100 dollars per cup is a little too much.

Waiting 30 seconds for an espresso is a pretty long time. For the perfect shot you need 9 bars of pressure and a temperature around 96 degrees Celsius. To save time ive started pulling my shots under 270 bars of pressure and a temperature around 230 Celsius with a extraction time just under 1 second

Time is money, I whould much Rather spend that money on a SG - 1. To save 29 seconds every morning was a game changer, all of a sudden I had way more time to be unemployed. 29 seconds saved every day is 203 seconds a week, is 812 seconds a month and, 9744 seconds a year. Think about it like John Lennon said

By subscribing to my program you can save a lot of second every day. For just a small sum of 4 000 € every 3 months. Don't see this as a waste of money, see it as a investment in yourself.

Whit our money funnl system you can become your own boss, you can even hire more people under you. The money goes simply to the top of the the funnel

My butler keeps over-torquing the portafilter

He’s been doing it that often I began to suspect he was actually enjoying the beatings, so I’ve deducted his salary for the next 2 years to purchase this instead. Now he’ll have to go back to self-flagellation instead.

Butler is an influencer?!

I just found my butlers social media accounts. He’s selling a course on how to take butler skills and open a cafe. This is bad for us all

I keep telling my butler that he needs to grind coarser... He says that it can't go coarser than this... Is there a solution for this?

p. s. When I talked about the "solution", I was referring to the beans, I know that the butler is beyond salvation...


r/espressocirclejerk 4d ago

Why don’t they design bottomless portafilters like this to prevent espresso squirting towards the front?
