AAA coffee machine, a professional manufacturer of domestic coffee machines, believes that compared with other products, coffee machines have not been able to enter the space station mainly because they cannot solve the problem of internal pressure control. After repeated development and verification by R & D personnel, the production materials of the coffee machine were changed from the original plastic to steel to increase the weight of the coffee machine.
