Italians take their coffee seriously—even on the baseball field! The national team kept an espresso machine in their dugout during a world competition.
This isn’t the first time baseball players have brought some rather unconventional food and drink options into the dugout. During last year’s MLB season, the Toronto Blue Jays’ Lourdes Gurriel Jr. wasmaking a fruit cocktail during a game . It may not have been as sophisticated as the Italians’ espresso, but it seems like it would be a better thirst-quencher for sure.
And while the Italians are most definitely living up to their brand, we’re not sure how well advised it is to be drinking dehydrating coffee in the middle of a professional sports game. When the espresso machine was first noticed, the Italian team was playing Taipei, and they ended up losing 11–7. They were still able to sneak into the quarterfinals, but were finally ousted by Japan on Thursday.
On the bright side, that means the Italian players can go home and partake in a more relaxed cup of espresso, perhaps with a nice biscotti or pastry on the side.
