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.

The Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) announced ‘A Call With Space,’ an exclusive event featuring Sultan Al Neyadi on March 21.
