As an interesting sidenote, I'm pretty sure that every single time Ripley is consuming liquid in Aliens, it is coffee. Pay attention, would-be space heroes!
(I'll rewatch again sometime to be sure it's 100% of her liquid intake.)

I did confirm (by reading the movie script) that the scenes of the conference room and Ripley's apartment take place on the "Gateway Station" that sits in geosynchronous orbit with Earth. So it is indeed space coffee!
In Aliens(1986), where is Ripley before she agrees to go back to LV-426?
When she's still in the hospital, the view suggests she's in orbit. But some significant but unspecified amount of time passes between that, her meeting with the company, and the scene where she is in her apartment.
Trying to figure out if this counts as #SpaceCoffee or not.
Remember The Cant
I did some more Very Important #SpaceCoffee research today by giving Event Horizon(1997) another viewing.
It's definitely my current leader for the most movie screentime for spacecoffee. They talk about it a couple of times, and there's an exposition shot that focuses on it center frame.
I did just see Galaxy Quest(1999) pop up on my timelines, so I'm making a note to view it for any spacecoffee appearances.

I had a couple of suggestions to check out Silent Running(1972).
Indeed, there is a scene where the crew is having breakfast together and they are almost certainly drinking Space Coffee.
Also, what a delightfully strange film!
Here is a screenshot from the vidya game, Alien: Isolation(2014).
Making space coffee is practically the first thing your character does in the game. Here you can see her serving some space coffee to an android.
My research team has indicated to me that we might get more visibility into the topic of Space Coffee if I use one of those "hashtag" things, so I have included it here.
Please make use of it to bring the attention of our Space Coffee researches to any inclusions, mentions, or inferences to Space Coffee in any media; books, movies, TV shows, video games...
We appreciate your support for this Very Important Research!
