Astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti fired up the first espresso machine in space and then posted a photo of herself on Twitter from the International Space Station sipping from a cup designed for use in zero-gravity. For the special occasion, she even put on her Star Trek uniform top.

“Fresh espresso in the new Zero-G cup. To boldly brew… ,” she said.
