ROME, June 16 (UPI) -- Italians can't live without their espresso. That's why they're bringing a coffee maker with them on their next mission to the International Space Station.
Coffee-tech companies Lavazza and Argotec have teamed with the Italian Space Agency to build a coffee maker capable of pumping out cappuccinos in zero-gravity. Italian astronauts will bring the cleverly named "ISSpresso," a capsule-based espresso machine, with them on their next trip to the space station.
