18 Best Celebrity Coffee Brands

When it comes to celebrity brands, it's not hard to envision luxury items like clothing, scents, accessories, and even restaurants being part of a celeb's portfolio. It might surprise you to know some of the best coffee brands around the world are celebrity owned.

Of course, for some of these celebrities, the coffee is just an extension of their brand and a way to diversify their assets. For others, their interest is buoyed by a genuine love of quality java and its production, so much so that they've also launched cafe chains around their personal blends. Then, there are the celebrities who wish to leverage their love of coffee into some form of charitable pursuit.

Whatever the reason, celebrities have elbowed their way into the world of coffee culture and cafes, and some of the coffee brands they have to offer actually belong in the best coffee shops across the U.S. for your morning cup of joe. Here are some celebrity coffee brands.

Segueing off the sustainable theme, Leonardo DiCaprio's Lyon is also a coffee partnership between a celebrity and La Colombe with an eco-conscious bent. The signature coffee beans from Lyon were originally launched in 2012, with the intention of donating all profits towards environmental protection and disaster relief through DiCaprio's Foundation. Sourced from relatively similar locales to the aforementioned brand, Lyon is donating $2 from the sale of every package to the ACLU between November 3, 2022, and November 2, 2023, until it hits a minimum and maximum donation of $200,000.

The coffee itself has sweet notes of chocolate with a hint of roasted candied nuts on the palate. A well-balanced medium roast, it's perfect for an early morning easy sip with little in the way of acidity or astringency.

Tom Hanks' "Hanx For Our Troops" brand attempts to live up to its company mantra "proudly serving those who serve" by donating all of the profit from sales to organizations including The Bob Woodruff Foundation, The Headstrong Project, Hire Heroes USA, the Student Veterans of America (SVA) supporting veterans. The brand is sourced ethically and sustainably with medium and dark roast coffee grounds, coffee pods, and stick-shaped traveler packs of instant coffee that fit perfectly in your pocket or handbag.

Both medium and dark roast grounded blends balance cane sugar and roasted nut profiles while the instant coffee pods add notes of milk chocolate and peppermint. The traveler packs assume the same flavors as the coffee pods ensuring you can make a conscientious, great-tasting coffee anywhere you can get hot water.

Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett collaborated with McKinleyville, California-based roaster Muddy Waters Coffee Company to produce his own special brand of coffee. The brand, Greeny Blues Blend, honors his favorite guitar, the 59 Les Paul, and legendary Fleetwood Mac guitarist, Peter Green, who played it. Hammett eventually became the owner of Green's guitar and now, can also boast a coffee brand that rocks as hard as his band.

Greeny Blues Blend is a fair trade certified and organically grown dark roast blend, with beans sourced from African and Indonesian coffee bean farms which help add to the beverage's complexity. Expect a fruity, chocolatey flavor with a hint of the different terroir the beans were harvested in before going through the roasting process in California at Muddy Waters Coffee Company.

The Oakland Coffee House is punk band Green Day's ode to the rocket fuel that keeps them going on tour. It's also the culmination of over 10 years of sampling coffee from around the world to come up with their own unique blend of beans for the brand. The coffee name proudly reps their stomping grounds in Oakland, California with packages coming in ground or whole bean form in colorful, artsy designs.

Bundles like the Ground Coffee Trio and Whole Bean Coffee Trio conveniently allow drinkers to try all their blends for a fair price of $44.95. Favorites like the Atomic Garden, named after a shop owned by Adrienne Armstrong, lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong's wife, is a mix of Honduran and Colombian beans. The medium-dark roast blend relies on a dark milk chocolate creaminess and a hint of sweetness to balance out its boldness. Three other caffeinated blends and one decaf blend round out the rest of Oakland Coffee's offerings.

Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer's Rockin and Roastin coffee is another organic coffee company. In a press release in Modern Drummer, Kramer points to his love of coffee as the inspiration for the brand launch. The drummer collaborated with Comfort Foods to distribute his series of blends including Sumatra Dark Roast, Ethiopia Dark Roast, Espresso Dark Roast, and Guatemala Medium Roast.

The beans are cultivated through a special "shade grown" technique that leads to the use of fewer chemicals and pesticides prior to the coffee bean's harvesting.The blends offer flavor profiles that are earthy, with hints of chocolate, citrus, and baking spices. Packaged in both ground and whole bean form, the product comes in bundles of three or as singles.

Martha Stewart's behemoth brand would of course extend to coffee. The food celebrity maven's iced and hot coffee beverage, ULIVjava, is a blend of fair trade coffee, and healthy herbs like yerba mate and astragalus with natural sweeteners. Brainstormed between Stewart, her personal trainer Mary Tedesco, and Kathleen Schoen, a celebrity nutritionist, the brand wants to have a serious impact on the health of coffee products. As a cold brew, ULIVjava is packaged in bottles as opposed to bags and is ready to drink when you are. There's also a ground coffee option in bags for people who want the same flavors and health benefits in an old-fashioned package.

Looking at the ingredients of the beverages, you can expect a chilled or hot, creamy coffee beverage with a hint of herbaceousness and matcha, sweetened with notes of sugar cane.

Keeping it all in the family seems to be a theme among rappers with coffee brands. Kiss Cafe is a family-owned venture between Jadakiss, his father, and the rapper's son. This is a second-generation connection between Jada and his dad, Jason Phillips, who was at one time the CEO of a coffee trading company back in the 1970s.

Jadakiss pints to nostalgia and fond family memories of Saturday and Sunday mornings with his dad, connecting over their fondness for music, donuts, and coffee as the inspiration for his coffee brand. Available for order from the Kiss Cafe website, the medium dark roast Beijo coffee blend — Beijo being Portuguese for "kiss," of course — comes in bags of whole beans or ground blends. Made with Arabica beans from Central and South America, expect a rich, nutty brew, with sweet notes of dark chocolate or cocoa.

BigFace Brand, according to Fast Company, is a coffee and lifestyle brand that NBA star Jimmy Butler concocted as an answer to COVID-19. Game and practice bubbles made quality coffee scarce during the 2019-2020 season at the Disney World campus. Seeking a solution as a coffee lover, Butler began carrying his own coffee accouterments like grinders, espresso machines, frothers, and pour-over equipment and sold the coffee to other players at $20 a cup. Realizing he was on to something, Butler launched several pop-up cafes under the BigFace Brand name — Big Face being slang for $100 — with a goal of spinning the concept out into all sorts of merchandise from clothing to travel kits.

Butler scours the world for the best quality beans and claims to drink up to 10 cups of coffee today to test the product he comes into contact with (which is not something we recommend, that much caffeine can be dangerous). He's surrounded himself with some heavy hitters in the coffee industry, hiring an ex-Intelligentsia Coffee exec to help spearhead the operation as COO of BigFace Brands. Currently, the coffee comes as whole beans in fancy packaging with names like Onyx, Doublestar, Kamviu, and La Paz. The blends, either multi or single-origin in nature, offer unique flavor blends that are fruity and bold with sweet notes of cane sugar or honey.

For the nu-metal band Korn, Korn Coffee is just another in a long line of branding and merchandise. According to Esquire, the coffee is a partnership between the band and roaster J Gursey Coffee. The fair trade farmed coffee beans were apparently curated by the band members who, like the bands listed before them, probably have a lot of experience with late nights and early mornings.

There are two different blends sold exclusively in a whole bean format so this may not work for you if you lack a coffee grinder. However, the balanced dark roast blend of Guatemalan Huehuetenango, Peruvian, and Ethiopian Yirgacheffe beans mixed with J Gursey's own Diamond Reserve, and the newer Wired Blend of Indian coffee beans might make getting a grinder worth the time.
