The Caffeine Habits of Hollywood’s A-Listers

If you’ve ever wondered what your favorite movie stars are drinking to stay energized and focused during long days on set, look no further! Over the years, we’ve seen celebrities sipping on everything from Starbucks to cold brew to matcha lattes. In this blog post, we’ll explore the caffeine habits of some of Hollywood’s biggest names and what their drink choices say about their personalities.

Let’s start with the queen of caffeine herself, Jennifer Lawrence. The Oscar-winning actress has been spotted with a variety of drinks in hand, but her go-to is reportedly a cup of drip coffee with almond milk. Lawrence’s choice of coffee reflects her down-to-earth personality and her love for simplicity. She’s not one for fancy frappuccinos or trendy lattes—just a good, old-fashioned cup of coffee.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have Lady Gaga, who’s known for her eccentric personality and bold fashion choices. It’s no surprise, then, that she’s a fan of the red eye—a drink consisting of espresso and coffee. The red eye packs a serious caffeine punch and is perfect for someone like Gaga, who’s always on the go and needs a pick-me-up.

Moving on to the world of cold brew, we have Keanu Reeves, who’s been spotted with a bottle of Stumptown’s nitro cold brew on set. Reeves’s choice of coffee reflects his edgy and unconventional personality. Cold brew is known for its smooth and strong flavor, and the addition of nitrogen adds a unique “creamy” texture that sets it apart from traditional iced coffee.

Switching gears, we have Emma Stone, who’s known for her love of matcha lattes. Matcha, a type of green tea, has become increasingly popular in recent years thanks to its health benefits and unique taste. Stone’s choice of drink reflects her health-conscious personality and her desire for a natural energy boost.

Finally, we have Ryan Reynolds, who’s known for his quick wit and sarcastic humor. Reynolds’s drink of choice is a cortado, a Spanish drink consisting of espresso and steamed milk. The cortado is known for its strong yet smooth flavor and is a reflection of Reynolds’s ability to balance boldness and charm.

As we’ve seen, the coffee habits of movie stars can reveal a lot about their personalities and lifestyles. From the bold and adventurous to the simple and down-to-earth, there’s a coffee drink for every type of celebrity. So next time you’re ordering your morning cup of coffee, keep in mind the choices of your favorite movie stars and maybe try a new drink that suits your own unique personality. Happy sipping!

Good coffee gone bad from the wrong mug choice

I have had a couple coffee cup failures recently, so I’m looking for a couple simple go-to mugs I will be using around the house when there isn’t time to stop and replace. It is interesting that after a bit of research, the material that a coffee mug is made of can impact the taste of the coffee in it.

Porcelain and ceramic mugs are popular options as they are non-reactive, which means that they don’t interact with the coffee and change its taste. We have a few of our favorite Italian ceramic painted mugs, but the beauty of them does make a person a bit more cautious. Glass mugs are also a good choice for this reason, as they don’t add any unwanted flavors to the coffee. I have posted before the multi layer glass mugs we have used. The dual layer glass has a weird impact on the senses as your lower lip on the outer glass is cool and the inner is warm, a much larger difference that a single layer ceramic or glass.

On the other hand, some materials can impact the taste of coffee. For example, metal mugs such as stainless steel, aluminum, and copper can affect the taste of the coffee by making it taste metallic or slightly acidic. Plastic mugs are also not recommended for coffee as they can leave an unwanted aftertaste. As plastic ages, it seems to impact the coffee inside of it differently too.

Additionally, the thickness of the mug can impact the temperature of the coffee. Thick materials like stoneware or double-walled glass like I pointed out above, can keep the coffee hot for longer periods of time, while thin materials like paper or single-walled glass may cause the coffee to cool more quickly.

With that in mind, my search for replacements is narrowed down. The material that a coffee mug is made of can impact the taste of the coffee in it, with non-reactive materials like porcelain, ceramic, and glass being the best options for maintaining the intended flavor of the coffee.

One example of the actual Italian Ceramic mugs we actually enjoy every day. Please note that if you purchase from clicking on the link, some will result in my getting a tiny bit of that sale to help keep this site going.
