Wired UK best describes how the capsule espresso machine developed by
Lavazza, which will be delivered by the first female Italian astronaut Air Force Captain Samantha Cristoforetti, works:
‘Italian coffee is a beverage without borders and we have been thinking about taking the espresso into space for some time,’ said Lavazza Vice-President Giuseppe Lavazza.
‘In fact, today we are in a position to overcome the limits of weightlessness and enjoy a good espresso — the indisputable symbol of made in Italy products — on board the International Space Station.’
