NES gamepad controls espresso machine

There's nothing like reminiscing about the go-go '80s, the decade that gave us the NES and the cocaine craze that would eventually be displaced by the "less addictive" espresso fad. (Just go with us.) But all of this caffeine makes us want to reminisce faster; shouldn't there be a way to drink an espresso while contemplating the classic, boxy NES controller?

Now there is, with this crazy-hacked espresso machine, complete with add-on microchip, temperature sensor, and text display, with the NES controller orchestrating the brewing process. Now how long before Nintendo emails hacker Tim Hierzel, warning him not to drink coffee if it's too hot?
