  • Italian Espresso in Space to Celebrate International Coffee Day
    ITALIAN ESPRESSO IN SPACE TO CELEBRATE INTERNATIONAL COFFEE DAY European Space Agency astronaut Paolo Nespoli and the Italian Space Agency VITA mission crew have successfully once again tested the ISSpresso project, drinking coffee thanks to the innovative capsule-based espresso machine created by Argotec for Lavazza Turin, Italy (October 1st 2017) – The crew of the Italian Space Agency (ASI) mission VITA (Vitality, Innovation, Technology, Ability), including most notably the European Space Agency astronaut Paolo Nespoli, have enjoyed an authentic Italian espresso on board of the International Space Station (ISS) to celebrate International Coffee Day. In fact, the crew has successfully tested the capsule-based espresso machine ISSpresso created by Argotec for Lavazza — in a partnership with the Italian Space Agency (ASI) — which on 3 May 2015, during the Italian Futura mission, allowed Samantha Cristoforetti to drink the first espresso in micro-gravity conditions in history. In its first phase, the partnership with ASI, which coordinated the experiment, allowed the ISSpresso machine to be brought to the International Space Station, and then, through negotiations with NASA, to be kept permanently operational onboard. International Coffee Day has thus been the occasion for the two European Space Agency’s Italian astronauts to pass the baton on, from Samantha Cristoforetti to Paolo Nespoli, who is now on his third space flight and, in recent months, has been able to perform several experiments promoted by Argotec. “We are proud to be able to celebrate International Coffee Day 400 kilometers above Earth’s surface thanks to this important 100% Italian research project developed with Argotec,” commented Marco Lavazza, Group Vice Chairman.

  • MAY 3Rd, 2015, 12.44 GMT: ESPRESSO COFFEE CONQUERS SPACE
    MAY 3rd, 2015, 12.44 GMT: ESPRESSO COFFEE CONQUERS SPACE ISSpresso, the first capsule espresso coffee machine for use in space, produced by Argotec and Lavazza in partnership with the Italian Space Agency, is now in operation on the International Space Station International Space Station, May 3rd, 2015 – Coffee calling Earth: at 12.44 GMT, the first espresso coffee was drunk in space. An espresso wish finally come true with the help of ISSpresso, the first capsule espresso machine that can work in the extreme conditions found in space. It was installed on the International Space Station by Samantha Cristoforetti, the Italian European Space Agency astronaut, Italian Air Force captain and member of Futura, the second long-duration mission sent to the ISS by the Italian Space Agency. Today, therefore, Samantha Cristoforetti becomes not only the first Italian woman in space, but also the first astronaut in history to drink authentic Italian espresso coffee in orbit. The ISSpresso project is an initiative by Argotec and Lavazza in a public/private sector partnership with the Italian Space Agency (ASI). ISSpresso, one of the nine experiments selected by the Italian Space Agency for Samantha Cristoforetti’s Futura Mission, not only symbolises the Italian made technology that has won a place on the space station, but is also the result of advanced scientific research. Making coffee in space isn’t easy, requiring some extremely sophisticated technology, and this is the first capsule espresso machine that can work in the extreme conditions in space, where the principles that determine the fluid dynamic characteristics of liquids and mixtures are very different from those typically found on earth.

  • Authentic Italian Espresso in Space
    Authentic Italian espresso in space 15-02-2017 • Events and sponsorships Turin, February 15th, 2017 – ISSpresso was subject of a training session, devoted to Paolo Nespoli, held in the laboratories of the Argotec headquarters in Turin. Argotec is the Italian aerospace engineering company with whom Lavazza built the innovative ISSpresso machine - the one that dispensed the first ever espresso in the absence of gravity - in a public-private partnership with the Italian Space Agency (ASI). On the historical date of 3rd May, 2015, during the last “Futura” mission on the International Space Station, astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti not only became the first Italian woman in space, but also the first astronaut in history to drink an authentic Italian espresso in orbit. After 22 months in space, the ISSpresso machine will again be on board during the “Vita” (Vitality, Innovation, Technology, Ability) mission, which will ensure that another Italian astronaut won’t have to do without the ritual of an Italian coffee. Italian Paolo Nespoli will take part in the mission, the only astronaut with a record of three flights in space, and who has been able to learn and extend his knowledge of all the secrets of ISSpresso during today’s training, from the technical aspects to the most practical. The innovative coffee machine can therefore offer the new crew the taste of Italian espresso during their stay on board, as well as once again being an object of research, offering insights into fluid dynamics and conditions during microgravity. Marco Lavazza, Vice President of the Lavazza Group, said on this occasion: “The acronym - “Vita” - of the mission the Italian astronaut is due to join contains one of the values that have always been dear to Lavazza, namely the desire to innovate and face new challenges.
