Emirati Astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi shared a video of how to make coffee at the International Space Station on Monday.
Neyadi showed his followers on social media platforms how astronauts prepare a cup of coffee for themselves.
Al Neyadi said, “In space as on Earth... the day does not start without coffee… ☕️ This is how I started my first morning on board the International Space Station... I am very excited to meet you in direct contact tomorrow. I wish you a good day!”
The Emirati astronaut explained, “We have a variety of options but today I'm choosing Colombian medium roast coffee,” bringing a packet out of a case that was floating in the zero gravity.
Neyadi said that he would insert the coffee packet to the water dispenser where options of warming the water are available.
