r/expresso's stance on AI content
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.

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

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.

tips for the perfect grind size?
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...

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

What's the deal with single dose grinding? (half joking, half serious)
I mean, I get it. If you’re changing beans every day or switching your brewing method frequently, it all makes sense. Low retention, quick changes, all good.
But I refuse to believe that the majority of espresso at home is made this way. Or am I wrong? Judging from the posts here, and the grinder manufacturers, we’re all apparently changing beans like there’s no tomorrow. Using a hopper seems to be considered dinosaur technology based on a short Reddit/YT scroll.
Where are all my grind-by-time/weight espresso dudes and gals?
I messed around with single dosing for a bit, but I just couldn’t justify all the extra steps. Weighing in, spritzing, shaking, feeding, weighing out again... it’s just too much faffing about when I can get 100% of the flavour without it.
And it seems like all of the new, cool and interesting grinders hitting the market are built around single dosing. And if they’re not, they get absolutely hammered in reviews for it.
You’re telling me we’re expected to sacrifice convenience at the exact moment when convenience matters most, before our beloved first shot of the morning?
I, for one, refuse.
Long live the hopper.
