This Espresso Machine Can Run Doom
A Reddit user has demonstrated that the Fellow Espresso Series 1 coffee machine can run the classic 1993 FPS game Doom on its small circular display screen. The user, FullExtraction, mapped the espresso machine’s controls to gameplay: the brew button moves the player character, the steam button fires weapons, and the scroll wheel controls turning. This clever hack continues the long-standing internet tradition of porting Doom to unusual devices—the game has famously been run on everything from graphing calculators to smart appliances. While the Fellow Espresso Series 1 is a premium espresso machine priced at several hundred dollars, its unexpected ability to display and run Doom showcases both the remarkable portability of the original game’s codebase and the creativity of hobbyist programmers. The project is purely a novelty rather than a practical gaming solution, but it reinforces Doom’s unofficial status as the most universally compatible video game ever created.
