A Fellow Espresso Series 1 machine can execute the 1993 first‑person shooter Doom on its circular display, according to a Reddit post by user FullExtraction. The brew button initiates the game, while the steam button fires the virtual weapon; rotating the device’s scroll wheel moves the player character left or right. A longer video shared online shows the game running with a stable frame rate. The machine’s built‑in interface normally selects drink types such as americano, cappuccino, or straight espresso and displays extraction timers, but it can also launch the classic title. This is not the first time a non‑gaming device has been repurposed to run Doom; earlier examples include an Anker smart charger and a modified pregnancy test. The phenomenon reflects a broader trend of hobbyists adapting everyday hardware to host the game. Separately, the upcoming shooter Doom: The Dark Ages is slated for release in May 2025, following the recent addition of an expansion called Revelations to the series. Earlier this year, developer id Software underwent workforce reductions that may influence its future projects, including a planned co‑op Doom experience and a Perfect Dark reboot.
