International online feature: according to the Russian RT television reported on June 16, the International Space Station will usher in its first coffee machine in November this year. At that time, astronauts will be able to enjoy pure espresso as they did on Earth.

It is reported that the coffee machine is jointly developed by Italian Space Agency and Italian coffee company Argotec and is named ISSpresso. The coffee machine, which weighs 443lbs, will arrive at the International Space Station in November with Air Force Captain Samantha Cristoforetti, the first Italian female astronaut. At that time, the female astronaut will become the first person to taste coffee 400 kilometers above the earth.

According to the report, the only problem facing the coffee machine before is how to control the internal pressure. To this end, the researchers replaced the coffee maker's material from plastic to steel so that it could withstand more pressure.

Although astronauts will be able to taste pure coffee on the space station, the way they drink coffee will be slightly different from that on the ground. It is reported that coffee will be placed in sealed plastic bags and astronauts will need straws to drink.
