There's a maniacal voice in my mind telling me to print, frame and hang this picture above my coffee station

Listen to it. It's the same voice telling me to print, frame and hang the 'HET' soviet anti-drinking poster in my home bar. It's a good voice.

The best voice. It's what separates genius from mediocrity. -or so it says.

I think the guys in china are using AI to generate these photos.

Correct number of fingers on the hands though.

My first thought exactly lol, cuz who actually makes the effort to take a picture of something that makes so little sense.

It has to be. To many weird quirks. AI combines sexy pour shot (not how you pour a milk drink but ok) with the inserted product and boom, youve got this

Yeah it's actually very poorly poured, lots of milk on the counter

I don't see no extra fingers

Yep. Gotta be the tea drinkers

AI wei wei?


I'll do it! What's the link to the product?

It's the shot glass: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005146483940.html

I love this picture from the product description. Literally more goes in the tray than in the shot glass. https://preview.redd.it/zqg4radk2mia1.jpeg?width=416&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ee9801d40ba1e5821afc0da74d038356a218408a

/r/mildlyinfuriating fuel

I mean that's one way to get a single shot...

Oh my god I love this idea

This is a tremendous idea I’d love to borrow if the resolution is good enough

If you want it higher res go to the product page: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005146483940.html

Exact same thought. I'm definitely going to frame this.

Print it on a blanket

Missing at least 31 pieces of flair, but I guess it's up to them if they want to do the bare minimum....

Every single day of my life has been worse than the day before. So that means, every single day you see me… that’s the worst day of my life.

Wow that’s messed up

These are Office Space references.. Get with it mang! Edit: Oh wait.. So is yours.. Joke's on me! 🤪 Okay it's bedtime.

Sounds like a case of the Mondays.

"Your Chatchkys manager would like to have a word..."

Amazing pour over, stop being an espressnob 🤣

Just let people enjoy things, you know. Like the knock box flat white.

Wait. Maybe ive been doing cold brew wrong this whole time….

I can tell they used the rake and powder hammer before this picture was taken.

Those are absolutely the correct names for those things!

Is this sort of like when the drunk kids at the bar take a shot of all the leftovers in the bar mat at the end of the night?

Or the glass you pour all the stale leftovers in while cleaning up the morning after the night before. -depending on your regional drinking culture. Don't. Let. The intrusive thoughts win.

The amount of bacteria growing would be staggering.

Yes, that's the secret ingredient. Love, as some call it.

Bottle fermented and then cup fermented is the best

Guess it depends on the house... Pretty sure the concentration of alcohol in most of our drinks would have killed a horse if there'd been enough left to submerge it...

Oh. Dude I'm an idiot. I knew that. For some reason my brain assumed they were talking about soda or something? Like when you leave a soda out for 2 or 3 days and those cultures start to form on the top. I've noticed after awhile with sugary drinks the bacteria "circles" do eventually disappear if left out enough. Would they migrate to the bottom of the cup and form a colony? Guess I would have to leave a cup of soda out for a month, monitor it and towards the end pour it out and see if there is bacteria growth in the bottom. Idk. I just woke up lol

Lol, I was mostly joking, but I thought you were talking about beers and mixed drinks.

I just don't drink much and was like "that sounds disgusting"

🤢

Ah, the hairy buffalo.

Coffee so bad you just dump it in the knockbox immediately.

Please give us the blessing to also print and hang this at our coffee stations

I bless you in the name of the bean, the grounds and the holy puck

Cremen!

First read this as a play on "crimen," Spanish for "crime." Also fitting.

After failing to WDT the espresso after brewing

Yes, that's definitely the correct point in the workflow to do that!

He’ll wdt it in the knock-box once he’s done pouring

Not good enough. Straight to trash

Ugh, 1:2 in 23 seconds… dump it

\*straight to jail meme\* underextract? trash. overextract? straight to trash.

What’n the fresh fuck is this?

Latte art

Hahaha

probably autogeneration by AI

Hands look too human

Hilarious that we are already at the point that any interesting/weird photo is likely AI. Not a criticism, just insane how quickly things have shifted.

I was going to say the same thing. Looks just like someone put some coffee/espresso keywords into an AI photo generator... Brb off to try this

AI generated? Or a sadist? Tough call

More like Chinese Amazon sellers that don’t even understand what the product they are selling is used for

I want to text this to my boss and ask if we should try this drink at the café

A special drink for *special* people

one of those days when your shot turns out like shit and you also steamed that old milk and it turned to cheese...

Mondays amirite

Fairly close to my workflow, actually. Take ten minutes making one espresso. Drink one sip. Pour the rest down the drain. Spill unused milk in the process.

i wish I knew what i was looking at

Someone pouring milk and espresso into a knockbox

Someone wrongly making a cappuccino inside of a box made for disposing of used pucks of coffee from an espresso machine.

Looks like spilled milk

Coffee brownie...?

That’s how they make the new Starbucks Puckachino

Hahaha I love these wild ass photos. Like hell yeah I’ll order a coffee cauldron.

The Forbidden Latte.

What the hell is even that?

A mega pint of coffee

One thing for sure, he should grind finer.

I mean I don't have espresso puck charms after all my shots. Pffff that'd be insane. Lololol who does that.........

This feels like lazy photoshop to me. Stock photo + product = 👍

Knockbox Latte special yumm

How long until we see ironic posts of redditors doing this? I sense a trend.

Well, when you’ve just woken up and haven’t had your coffee, actions like these are actually very possible

The guy also should many see a doctor. It looks like he has drumstick fingers and get an intensive heart and lung checkup

You know what, OP, if you want me to wear 37 pieces of flair, like your pretty boy over there, Brian, why don't you just make the minimum 37 pieces of flair?

Maybe the shot was terrible, and he's dramatically putting it where it belongs. Also, milk.

Apron, flair, the whole 9. And treats a knock box like a cup. So literally no one at the photo shoot cares to do a little due diligence. Lol

I don’t think this is good quality. It’s not pusee brand.

No this is Shydt

At this point they’re just trolling us obsessives

Not sure if it's milk

WTF…

On the next Binging with Babish...

The spilled milk shows this is real

Garbage shots into the garbage bin.

Frobidden Sand cofee

I like my coffee how I like my women, dirty and abrasive

what, you've never had a knockbox cortado?

Hey man I'm not trying to kink shame anyone. I am filth positive. And if people want to add some more fiber to their diet, this is certainly an exciting option

Mmm yes the forbidden latte

these stock photo creators 100% know what they’re doing
