Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti got a taste of home Sunday when she tried out a new espresso maker that is part creature comfort and part science experiment. Cristoforetti made her first cup of espresso in space as teams of engineers looked on from Earth.
Video recorded aboard the space station showed Cristoforetti and NASA astronaut Scott Kelly enjoying their morning jolt of caffeine. The astronauts planned to drink espresso from 3D-printed coffee cups aboard the space station specially designed to keep the coffee from floating out in the absence of gravity.
