As much as I appreciate the coffee hack, I'm having a hard time understanding why the coffee machine had to be on the network.

The only thing my brain (which needs an afternoon cup, BTW) can come up with is a machine where you have to pay and so it has to connect to run a credit card or verify that you've got funds loaded on your account.

Seriously, what other reason would there be?

Spitballing (into the coffee cup) but could it be to connect to a coffee service vendor network that monitors the machine/supply ???

But why did the coffee machine have networking capabilities in the first place? That's the part that I can't figure out.

In my office building we have a Raspberry Pi connected to a sunshade so a guy can lower the shade without getting up from his desk.

I am not surprised by anything.
