Authentic Italian coffee is exclusive to astronauts in the space station.

Italian astronaut Samantha Kristofliti took out a cup of coffee from a zero-gravity coffee machine and enjoyed the beauty of the earth near the observation dome.

Tencent Space News according to foreign media reports, on Sunday, NASA released a photo of the astronauts drinking coffee on the International Space Station. The picture shows Italian astronaut Samantha Kristofliti taking a cup of coffee from a zero-gravity coffee machine. This is the first cup of coffee on the International Space Station, and the Italian astronaut also became the first barista in orbit. If humans can live in orbit and drink coffee in the future, then astronaut Samantha is one of the founders of the orbital coffee industry. It can be noted that astronaut Samantha is also wearing a Star Trek costume related to Star Wars Memorial Day on the 4th of this month, filmed on the observation dome of the space station.

Samantha also shared the moment on her Twitter account, the first cup of coffee made on track. Samantha is expected to return to Earth next week, completing an orbital mission of about half a year. The coffee machine was also proposed by Italian astronauts and was supposed to be sent to the space station in January. Due to the failure of the cargo ship, the coffee machine did not arrive until the astronauts finally received the coffee machine in April. Samantha didn't comment when she shared photos of drinking coffee on the space station, but she smiled and gave a thumbs up.

NASA has studied instant coffee before, but it is obviously not as good as the coffee from the coffee machine. The zero-gravity coffee machine made by the Italian Space Agency can adapt to the orbital environment and is formulated by the 120-year-old Lavazza coffee, so the taste of the coffee is needless to say. The coffee machine was developed by the Italian Space Agency, both of which successfully created high-quality orbital coffee with Italian flavor.

Espresso also needs capsules to make and does not use coffee powder to brew. This coffee machine is more compact and suitable for zero gravity environment. SpaceX's cargo ship carries some coffee capsules, and if astronauts need them, they will carry more coffee capsules into orbit next time. (compendium / compilation)
