What Coffees Do Celebrities Drink?

From Taylor Swift's caramel latte to Ben Affleck's iced coffee, here's what famous coffee drinkers actually order, and the fresh-roasted beans we'd use to make each one at home.

Celebrities may have private chefs, personal assistants and access to just about anything they want, but when morning comes around, plenty of them apparently reach for the same thing the rest of us do: coffee.

And their orders are surprisingly varied. Some stick to a straightforward iced coffee. Others prefer lattes, Americanos or enough espresso to make the average coffee drinker reconsider every decision that led them to this moment. Over the years, celebrity interviews, coffee-shop appearances and even the occasional viral cup label have given us a glimpse into what some famous coffee drinkers actually order.

But if you've ever wondered what coffee celebrities drink, these are some of the better-documented examples, and the Koffee Kult coffees we'd choose as the foundation for recreating them at home.

Taylor Swift: Caramel Latte

The order: grande caramel nonfat latte

Taylor Swift's connection to coffee goes well beyond the countless paparazzi photos featuring a cup in her hand. In 2021, Starbucks made her order official as part of its collaboration celebrating Red (Taylor's Version). The company identified Swift's favorite Starbucks drink as a grande caramel nonfat latte, temporarily allowing customers to order it as "Taylor's Latte" or "Taylor's Version."

At its core, the drink is a classic café latte: espresso combined with steamed milk, with caramel providing the additional sweetness.

Ariana Grande: Soy Latte

The order: grande soy latte

Sometimes the simplest celebrity orders are the most memorable. During Ariana Grande's appearance on Carpool Karaoke with James Corden, the pair stopped at Starbucks and Grande ordered a grande soy latte, while naturally getting a joke out of ordering the size that shares her name.

There isn't much hiding in a traditional latte, which means the espresso itself matters. Once you strip away complicated flavor additions, the quality and balance of the coffee become much easier to taste.

Ben Affleck: Iced Coffee

The order: iced coffee, milk, two sugars

Few celebrity-coffee relationships are as well established as Ben Affleck and Dunkin'. Affleck told People in 2023 that his regular order was refreshingly uncomplicated: iced coffee with milk and two sugars, occasionally swapping in Splenda or almond milk. He also said he drinks iced coffee every morning and sometimes has two.

Ignore the celebrity part for a moment and this is simply a reminder of how popular straightforward iced coffee remains. You don't necessarily need an elaborate café recipe. Start with good coffee, brew it properly and cool it down.

Hugh Jackman: Strong Espresso and the Red Eye

The order: dark red eye

Hugh Jackman's relationship with coffee goes considerably deeper than stopping at a café on the way to work. He co-founded Laughing Man Coffee after a trip to Ethiopia and has spoken publicly about both coffee and the farmers who produce it.

Jackman has also become associated with a decidedly strong coffee order: a dark red eye, essentially dark-roast brewed coffee fortified with a shot of espresso. The combination has appeared repeatedly in coverage of celebrity coffee preferences.

This is one celebrity drink we can get firmly behind from a coffee perspective because the beans remain the focus.

Harry Styles: Sunshine Espresso

The order: espresso with orange juice

Harry Styles may have one of the more unusual coffee combinations on this list, and one of the newest.

In 2026, the owner of SAY Doughnuts in Bedford, England, told People that Styles had become something of a regular. He initially ordered espresso over ice before later suggesting the shop combine espresso with orange juice, a drink he called a "sunshine espresso." The idea impressed the shop enough that it planned to add the drink to its summer menu.

Espresso and citrus may sound strange until you consider what's already happening naturally inside many coffees. Depending on origin and roast, specialty coffee can contain pronounced citrus characteristics of its own. Adding orange simply pushes those flavors much further forward.

Pedro Pascal: Six Shots of Espresso Over Ice

The order: six espresso shots over ice

Then there is Pedro Pascal.

His coffee order became an internet story in 2023 after fans spotted the label on his Starbucks cup: an iced espresso drink containing six shots of espresso. Unlike some viral celebrity orders based entirely on rumor, Pascal later addressed it himself during a 2025 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, explaining that his order had gradually increased from four shots to six.

You certainly don't need to replicate the quantity to understand the appeal. This is espresso with essentially nowhere to hide. For anyone who prefers coffee concentrated, cold and direct, the quality of the beans and the espresso extraction become everything.

The Weeknd: Honey, Vanilla and Ethiopian Coffee

The order: Samra Latte

Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, has one of the more meaningful coffee connections on this list. The son of Ethiopian immigrants, Tesfaye partnered with Blue Bottle Coffee on Samra Origins, a project named for his mother and inspired in part by Ethiopia's traditional coffee ceremony.

The collaboration eventually produced the Samra Latte, described as being inspired by Tesfaye's daily coffee. The drink combined espresso with honey, vanilla and Ethiopian cinnamon and could be served hot or iced.

The Ethiopian connection makes this an especially interesting drink to reinterpret using a single-origin coffee.

Kylie Jenner: Salted Maple Latte

The order: salted maple latte with vanilla cream

One of the newest celebrity coffee drinks comes from Kylie Jenner's own kitchen rather than a national coffee chain. In August 2026, HOLA! reported that Jenner's longtime makeup artist Ariel Tejada had prepared her a salted maple latte topped with vanilla cream and cinnamon.

Maple and coffee are natural partners, particularly when the coffee itself leans toward chocolate, caramel and roasted-nut flavors.

What Can Celebrity Coffee Orders Actually Teach Us?

If there is one thing these celebrity coffee orders prove, it is that there really isn't one "correct" way to drink coffee. Taylor Swift goes for a caramel latte. Ben Affleck keeps returning to iced coffee. Harry Styles puts orange juice in espresso. Pedro Pascal apparently decided four shots simply weren't enough.

Look underneath all those variations and almost every drink begins with the same ingredient: the coffee itself.

A latte still needs espresso. A red eye needs brewed coffee and espresso. Iced coffee is only as good as the coffee you brewed before adding the ice. Even highly customized drinks benefit from starting with beans that have enough flavor and structure to remain recognizable after everything else is added.

That's where fresh coffee makes a difference.

At Koffee Kult, we roast coffee to order in Hollywood, Florida, rather than roasting it months in advance and allowing it to wait indefinitely for someone to buy it. Whether you want a bright espresso, a smooth Brazilian single origin, a rich dark roast or something completely different, starting with freshly roasted specialty coffee gives you a better foundation.

Celebrity coffee order optional.
