(Before It's News)

In a bid to improve the quality of life on the International Space Station and to extend the Made-in-Italy brand to space, two Italian companies have collaborated with the Italian Space Agency to develop and launch a coffee machine for the orbital complex. The ISSpresso is a capsule-based espresso machine capable of brewing the caffeinated beverage in weightlessness, offering the space station crew an upgrade to the instant coffee that has been the only option to date. Built by coffee retailer Lavazzo and Argotec aerospace company, the ISSpresso can also brew tea, infusions and broth, so that food can be rehydrated.
