Astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti finally got to savor an espresso on the ISS before returning to Earth!

Drinking a coffee in zero gravity would cause a latte problems...  ;)

Yeah, I imagine that floating around would make a mochary of the whole idea of a relaxing drink.

July 11th, 2015 Update: Samantha Cristoforetti (IT) and two fellow astronauts, Terry Virts (US) and Anton Shkaplerov (RF), landed safely on Terra firma in the steppes of Kazakhstan today.

Wish I could personally treat Ms. Cristoforetti to a REAL espresso and ask her a few of my thousand questions about what it's like to live in space.  :)

meantime there's this... "Samantha Cristoforetti's space diary: tips from 200 days in orbit"
