Before caffeinating yourself in the morning, the Fellow Espresso Series 1 machine can actually run 1993’s Doom on its small, circular screen. Reddit user FullExtraction showed off the classic FPS, utilizing the brew button to run and steam button to shoot. The scroll wheel on the device turns Doomguy either left or right.
There’s also a wider-angle video of Doom working on the espresso machine, via custom firmware. The game looks pretty smooth in the snippet, showcasing a solid frame rate. Out of the box, that circular screen provides a user interface to choose what drink you’re making–such as an americano, cappuccino, or even a straight shot of espresso. It will provide text directions as well as a timer for extraction, too. Or, apparently, you can blast some demons.
This espresso machine joins a long, long list of devices, games, and even potatoes that can run Doom. For instance, we saw how an Anker smart-charging station could play the game without any hardware modifications last year. Then, there’s someone that modified a freakin’ pregnancy test and got the FPS working on it. Last but not least, one of the biggest video games in Fortnite can run Doom, too.
Doom: The Dark Ages is the latest entry in the storied shooter series, arriving in May 2025. Earlier this year, the game got an expansion called Revelations. However, shortly afterward, developer id Software was hit with mass layoffs. That obviously could affect future plans for the studio, which reportedly was working on a co-op Doom experience as well as a Perfect Dark project.
