For many of us, caffeine is a lifeline, helping us face early starts or back-to-back meetings. Like a miracle in a mug, a hot cup of coffee<\/a> can give us the boost we need to power through the day.<\/p>\n

And for celebrities, it\u2019s no different. Whether they\u2019re juggling long hours on set or non-stop promo tours, plenty of stars rely on a caffeine fix to keep going.<\/p>\n

Take Pedro Pascal, for example. He went viral last year<\/a> for his (quite frankly, chaotic) Starbucks order: six espresso shots over ice. The Internet\u2019s daddy and his naughty little knees were clearly running on more than charm.<\/p>\n

But do celebs actually influence how the rest of us take our coffee?<\/p>\n

According to Sonali Saujani, former barista and co-founder of C<\/em>ustom Barista Equipment, the answer is yes. Speaking on behalf of Coffee Friend<\/em>, she tells Metro:<\/strong> ‘The biggest trend I\u2019m seeing in the UK right now is matcha; it\u2019s the<\/em> drink to order. We\u2019re even seeing dedicated matcha bars popping up. I think a lot of that comes down to celebrity fans like Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid.<\/a><\/p>\n

‘Celebs have a huge influence. While I\u2019ve never had someone walk in and say they want a drink because a celeb orders it, it\u2019s clear they help set trends. Especially when it goes viral on social media.’<\/p>\n

It also turns out that, in celeb-land, ordering off-menu is the norm. But Sonali says you don\u2019t need an A-lister’s status to tweak your order.<\/p>\n

‘Baristas don\u2019t usually mind off-menu orders, just be polite! Especially if they don\u2019t have all the ingredients. A good barista is often just excited to show off their latte art\u2026 as long as you don\u2019t stir it before admiring it!’<\/p>\n

Inspired by Pedro, we took a closer look at the world of celebrity coffee orders and asked Sonali whether it\u2019s a brew-tiful choice or if it leaves a bitter taste in her mouth. Because celebrities may hold influence, but that doesn\u2019t mean their taste is always on point\u2026<\/p>\n

Celeb: Pedro Pascal<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Coffee order: Quad espresso in a Venti cup with extra ice and six shots<\/strong><\/p>\n

The internet daddy couldn\u2019t hide his wild coffee order from the world. Eagle-eyed fans zoomed in on his Starbucks receipt and found the Last of Us star ordered SIX shots of espresso. Just how much of an energy boost did he need?<\/p>\n

‘This order confuses me,’ Sonali admits. ‘Even if you love coffee, six shots with no sweetener or milk would pack a serious punch. I mean, I know Pedro Pascal is working overtime in a lot of people\u2019s minds, but that\u2019s a serious amount of caffeine right there!’<\/p>\n

Celeb: Hugh Jackman<\/h2>\n

Coffee order: Grande dark red eye<\/strong><\/p>\n

A former barista dished on Reddit about the celebs they had served, and revealed that the star\u2019s order is just as extreme as his X-Men workout regime. <\/p>\n

‘A grande dark red eye is a drip coffee with an espresso shot added in,’ Sonali explains. ‘He\u2019s basically ordering a coffee with extra coffee. A good barista can make this a nice drink, which is why I gave it a 6\/10, but it will be strong, and if the coffee is not great quality, it can just taste very bitter.’<\/p>\n

Celeb: Lana Del Ray<\/h2>\n

Coffee order: Venti hot mocha with whipped cream<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sonali says: ‘I give this order a high rating as it\u2019s a delicious choice for someone with a sweet tooth. But if this is your go-to order, I don\u2019t believe you like coffee. This order says to me that Lana is just ordering a hot chocolate with a bit of caffeine. <\/p>\n

‘I firmly believe that anyone who drinks a mocha is still a child at heart, so maybe this displays the softer side to Lana. It\u2019s not a healthy drink but it is a fun one.’<\/p>\n

Celeb: Kim Kardashian<\/h2>\n

Coffee order: Hot, tall white chocolate mocha with whipped cream<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kim left no questions over her coffee order, revealing to fans what she orders from Starbucks during a Q&A on X.<\/p>\n

‘For someone so health-conscious, Kim\u2019s order shocked me,’ Sonali admits. ‘This is a calorific drink and super sweet. You\u2019ll need to drink a tall glass of water after this. But if you\u2019re a sweet tooth, it\u2019s not a bad shout. Depends on what you want from your hot drink.’<\/p>\n

Celeb: Chris Pratt<\/h2>\n

Coffee order: Black coffee with 14 Splendas<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clearly Chris Pratt has a sweet tooth, as the Guardians of the Galaxy star revealed to Ellen DeGeneres that his go-to Starbucks order is a black coffee with 14 Splendas. Yep, 14.<\/p>\n

‘That\u2019s giving “I\u2019m healthy because I don\u2019t consume sugar, and I pretend to like coffee, but I actually find it so bitter I need to add all the sweetener in the world to it”,’ Sonali insists. <\/p>\n

‘This order would make me roll my eyes! On the outside, it looks like a healthy drink, but sweeteners can be so bad for you, and Splenda is known for being sweeter than sugar! Add a couple of Splendas, sure, but 14? That\u2019s far too much.’<\/p>\n

Celeb: Taylor Swift<\/h2>\n

Coffee order: Grande caramel nonfat latte<\/strong><\/p>\n

The singing sensation revealed her favourite drink to order when she previously teamed up with Starbucks, and Sonali firmly approved.<\/p>\n

‘Our simple, yet effective Queen! This order doesn\u2019t surprise me in the slightest because while Taylor has the most complex of sets on her Eras Tour, she\u2019s a simple woman at heart. Caffeine, check! Taste, check!’<\/p>\n

A former LA barista dished on his celeb clients, and revealed that the actress takes her coffee seriously. While \u201cdry\u201d might sound unusual, in coffee terms it simply means less foam. <\/p>\n

According to Sonali, the drink tastes great, but the order itself is overly complicated.<\/p>\n

‘She could just order a triple-shot flat white and be done with it,’ Sonali says. ‘A cappuccino is basically the same, just with less foam. But at least she\u2019s drinking a proper coffee, and not disguising the flavour with tons of sweeteners.’<\/p>\n

Celeb: Zendaya<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Coffee order: Venti iced matcha green tea latte with coconut milk<\/strong><\/p>\n

A former barista revealed on X that she had served the actress this very order, and Sonali says it\u2019s a great balance of flavours. <\/p>\n

‘This isn\u2019t a coffee,’ she explains. ‘But matcha is a big trend, and coconut milk would help add sweetness to level out the bitterness of matcha. This would be simple, but effective.’<\/p>\n
