Domestic coffee machine professional manufacturer AAA coffee machine believes that compared with other products, the coffee machine has been unable to enter the space station is mainly unable to solve the problem of internal pressure control. After many times of development and verification by R & D personnel, the production material of the coffee machine was changed from the original plastic to steel in order to increase the weight of the coffee machine. Although this problem has been overcome, the way astronauts drink coffee is still quite different from that on Earth. Coffee is flowed into sealed plastic bags during extraction and sucked with straws when drinking. Therefore, there is still much room for improvement in this coffee machine.
