"Do you like your espresso long or short" works for me.
I am NOT joking: Every project in the world has some mundane thing that has to be done but everybody is too busy to do it.

If everyone on the team is smarter than you, they all would rather be doing something else, and they will value a team member that gives them more time to do it.
