I made a coffee pot that spoke RFC 2324 because it was so silly it had to exist, and I think it was actually more useful than this thing. You had to go put the grounds and water in, then walk to your desk and run a scsh script to start it brewing, but at least you could use any coffee grounds.

It wasn't that interesting to look it, just an Arduino and relay module to take the place of buttons. Picture a thrift store Mr. Coffee with a project box superglued over the panel and you're probably pretty close.

To teach us about RFCs and network protocols in general, we had a university assignment to implement the coffee pot protocol in Java, it's held a special place in my heart ever since.
