Yes...this is true.  At the World Baseball Classic, Italy’s dugout has an espresso machine. 

Mike Piazza, a former Met, who plays for the Italian team said he was dissatisfied the coffee was being served in a paper cup and not a ceramic one.

“I don’t like espresso out of a paper cup. It’s kind of sacrilege,” Piazza said. “But when it’s the only option you have, you have to deal with it. Maybe next time we’ll bring the metallic machine with the copper eagle on the top and someone in there knocking espressos out. You have to make the most with the tools you have.”

Maybe the Americans should have a hot dog stand in their dugout.
