Sept. 30, 2021

1 October is International Coffee Day! These images, taken 12 September 1956 and 8 October 1957 respectively, show just how long coffee has been an important part of any JPLer’s morning. Representing JPL’s first ever coffee machine, and a coffee sling at what appears to be a JPL coffee cart, these photos feel as if they were taken in 2021.
Despite that we’re now making our own coffee every morning, we all can’t wait to get back to the JPL’s out of this world coffee cart! Drink a latte, cappuccino, flat white, or macchiato with fellow caffeinated JPLers over Webex to celebrate this International Coffee Day! CL#21-0721
