The astronauts in space will soon be sipping some good coffee. The International Space Station is getting a real Italian espresso machine.
They will still have to use the pouches, but at least the freshly brewed coffee will pack some zero-gravity punch.
The specially-designed-for-space espresso machine is dubbed ISSpresso — ISS for International Space Station.
Its launch early next year from Wallops Island, Virginia, is timed to coincide with the six-month mission of Italy’s first female astronaut, Samantha Cristoforetti.
She will be the first out-of-this-world barista.
