Virgin Australia and Nespresso recently announced their collaboration to offer travellers gourmet coffee from the Nespresso by B/E Aerospace machine that was designed to brew on aircraft.

Travellers in Virgin Australia's newly refurbished business class cabin on board the Airbus A330 fleet will benefit from the machines, which are engineered for high-altitude brewing.

Flow time, volume and temperature are maximised under the new technology and the machines are capable of creating quality milk foam just like their on-land counterparts.

The machines have been tested in high altitude chambers, according to a company press release, which says the results deliver fine coffee at 10,000 metres.
