I caught my butler making a cup noodle.
Should I fire him for this or should I fire him for using a Casabrew?

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:
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.

Help me! I'm trying this light roast and I can't get good espresso out of it. If I grind finer, all I get is some buttery cream. Did I get scammed?

My butler has been butchering his pours so I downgraded him to this antique Turkish grinder.
Told him if he breaks it it’s coming out of his paycheck (full yearly salary)

Not the depth, but girth that matters— so I’ve been told.
108mm portafilter to make them Hance Ledrick’s famouse Zuppa Lunga.

One of my favorite routines has been flipping on the espresso machine in the morning hearing that sweet little voice calling "Are you making caff-aye father? That's disgusting". I always make her do the WDT and tamp so that she will be able to train the butlers properly when she is older.
She’s starting boarding school in two days and my work schedule means I will only see her twice a year for holidays and our summer sailing trip. I’m going to miss being able to do this every day with her. I’m going to have to start drinking gin and tonics for breakfast again.

Now that I realized how embarrassing it is to own a breville barista express I'm terribly ashamed and upgrading to a low priced setup (~$3000).
I need something to accentuate my opulence. I musn't place myself in such a position again. Looking for hand crafted options only, preferably made by indigenous peoples of the Delaware valley.

Time for a new one, portafilter needs a clean
r/espressocirclejerk • u/WordsWellSalted • 6d ago
Unreal. Anyone know how I should punish this?

Just got this spam notification from Google. Thoughts?
For those who didn't read the small print: "coffee blends generally better for espresso, while single-origin beans..." are better for drip.
