Astronauts drink mostly water, but some flavored drinks are also available. Coffee, tea, lemonade, apple juice, and orange juice are freeze-dried in vacuum-sealed packs. An astronaut simply puts the water in a pressurized beverage bag and drinks through a straw.
An espresso brewed directly in space was enjoyed by astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti on May 3, 2015, thanks to the invention of ISSpresso, an espresso machine designed for use in space. It was created through a collaboration between Argotec, Lavazza, and the Italian Space Agency.
