Since the narrative mentions vacuum, I presumed air was removed from the rubber sack of coffee grounds. This changed their property of conformability to more rigid thereby retaining what had been surrounded. They didn't mention the release cycle process. Repressurizing it I'm sure, but greater than ambient?

Not a COTS item I guess, but in FRC the first non-deburred aluminum it grazed would have the coffee all over the deck. I wonder if they're using unbrewed or brewed grounds.
