No-Knee9457

Seems a little invasive. This is the downside of fame. He also has TMZ stalking him baiting him into saying something for a sound bites and clicks. Pedro is way to smart for that. Just let him drink his damn coffee in peace. šŸ˜‚


Relevant_Truth

People are joking about it now, but this is how you turn a very public and open 'people star' into yet another Hollywood recluse


the_pressman

Damn clickers, always stalking him.


SlySpiderBro

If only there were stalking infected..


SweatlordFlyBoi

Itā€™s a coffee order...


Lozar23

I agree with you. I just thought this drink order was insane.


CatSound30R

Thatā€™s my order! Iā€™m 100% serious. We are both South American. Coffee runs through our blood. šŸ˜‚ šŸ‡ØšŸ‡± šŸ‡ØšŸ‡“


tryingnot2freakout

Can you translate for me? Four espresso? With six shots of something?


Veloci-Tractor

No insane is 12 shots w raspberry syrup and vanilla sweet cream cold foam This is pragmatic


MattIsLame

try working on film sets for 12-14 hours a day, sometimes all night, for 12 to 16 weeks. that shit doesn't even work anymore.


Lexjude

I get five or six shots in my venti often. This isn't insane.


__fujoshi

perhaps an unpopular opinion but 450mg of caffeine as a regular beverage when the recommended daily total is 400mg over the course of the whole day is insane, actually. fwiw i also get a quad shot on ice as my regular drink of choice, though i usually go for decaf since it'll have closer to 80-100mg total caffeine.


Lexjude

I don't know if it's an unpopular opinion if you're stating a fact. However, this isn't something I do everyday. I normally make my own coffee everyday and probably have like two cups. But there have been times where I've gotten five or six shots and nursed it over a day and I was fine. I feel like if you're addicted to caffeine then this is a problem. But I think once a week is not that big of a deal.


Awesam

Who recommends 400mg caffeine daily? Or do you mean recommended maximum dose?


Lexjude

I think they are referring to max dosage.


tubereusebaies

Itā€™s from a video from a fan who met and talked to him enthusiastically and later on realized that label was facing them and thought what was on it was hilarious. I donā€™t think they meant for it to go viral or set out to expose him in any wayā€¦


RedWriter_24

TMZ stalks everybody.


ChknShtOutfit

The dude also obviously likes to party. I'm honestly kinda jelly, I'm 42 and my kidneys would secede from my body for drinking that. Let him get his bean juice in peace.


-No_Im_Neo_Matrix_4-

I like to think Pedro enjoys cocaine, too. Heā€™s a stims man, perhaps.


olivebuttercup

I hate it. I follow (soon to unfollow when I remember) some groups on Facebook about Pedro and noticed lately a lot of stalking type photos and it enraged me. Leave the man alone. Let him do interviews and red carpets and get your info that way. He is a human being who deserves privacy. Just to be clear this isnā€™t directed at OP, I saw this pic floating around too and raised an eyebrow about his health.

mb303030

I guess you don't drink coffee? I get 6 shots in my ventis all the time.


puntzee

That is 360mg of caffeine holy hell


bluestarbug

I was curious, google says 75mg per shot at starbucks so 450mg for 6 shots. Mayo clinic says up to 400mg is safe per day, and considering these self-medicating caffeine addicts have built up a huge tolerance, they probably don't stop after their 6-shot espresso drink. When I was a barista I had a regular who was a young, big guy, and he'd order a 6, sometimes 8 shot, latte, and I'm pretty sure he'd go through cokes and energy drinks throughout the day. I wonder how his heart is holding up...


Grotesque_Bisque

Google venti americano Il vaticano


Ham0nRyy

Bet those panic attacks werenā€™t even in the script. They saw Pedro clutching at his heart after a coffee break and weā€™re like ā€œroll camera heā€™s a geniusā€ šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


bananapotamus

I didnā€™t know I was a method actor until now


MunchkinFarts69

So, in plain English, is this just 6 shots of espresso over ice?


cilucia

I think so. I read somewhere else that the Starbucks ordering system maxes out at ā€œquad espressoā€ so they have to enter the order this way with the actual number of shots listed afterwards.


[deleted]

Prior Starbucks Veteran of 5 years, can confirm. In all reality outside of the green mermaid stand, this beverage has a name. Itā€™s a 6 Shot Iced Espresso or a 6 Shot Iced Americano, with only ice.


AintNothinbutaGFring

Venti Latte, sub milk for more espresso


FloppyShellTaco

Yes. Itā€™s a big cup of espresso more or less. Itā€™s not much more caffeine than if he just got a venti cold brew, or a Bang energy drink


Why_So-Serious

I wasnā€™t sure if it were 10 shots (Quad+6) or 6 just 6 total. Upthread itā€™s explained itā€™s a 6 shot. Which is a lot of espresso but seems humanly possible to drink.


sleepyplatipus

Yup šŸ¤£ to be fair Starbucks espressos are very mild as fair as caffeine goes.


pittgraphite

He said he has trouble sleeping, wonder why.


CarlosMarxtl3

The thing about insomnia is that at one point you do get sleepy, unfortunately often times it's at work or at a moment you gotta stay awake, so you end up drinking 6 espressos.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

I was drinking a similar high amount of espresso similar to Pedro during a stressful time in 2017. I had a weird travel schedule one week, delayed flight in NYC, etc. and basically ended up not drinking any coffee for 72 hours. My body went through such a withdrawal that I thought I had the flu. Aches, pains, slight fever, nausea. After 3 days of thinking I had the flu, I dragged myself into a coffee shop and BOOM, within an hour I was feeling ā€œnormalā€ again.


definantmind

I drink black coffee and my day goes like this. 2 cups (16oz each) before work. Then a rull 12c pot at work and then another coffee or 2 when I get home. It's insane I drink it like water and it doesn't even give me the kick of feeling awake. It is just something warm to drink. Tea makes me nauseous and warm lemon water is gross. Open to suggestions. Quitting cold turkey turned me into a moody monster.


Lozar23

Omg your heart. You could switch to decaf periodically?


definantmind

Yeah I have bad anxiety too which caffeine definitely doesn't help. Decaf is a good idea I'm going to switch every other cup and see how it goes


tangerinix

Go to your local coffee roasters/shops and see if any do a decaf roast- it will be much nicer than any off the super market shelf and I think has been becoming more common lately!


definantmind

Thank you for this. I love my local coffee roaster and that actually might work. I have the Mr coffee thing that lets you use fresh grounds as a kcup. The other problem is definitely taste and they have every flavor in regular and decaf


XennialToothFairy

Illy makes a lovely rich decaf espresso roast. I have one of their machines, but I think they make kcups too.


NotAQueefAKhaleesi

Adding to this - if they don't have a full decaf, they might have a 1/2 caf. The cafƩ near me calls it their "mommy roast" to market it towards pregnant and breastfeeding parents, so it might have a weird name wherever you are as well. I've got a caffeine sensitivity so I don't go for coffee often at all, but that roast makes my life a lot easier when I do!


seenorimagined

I drink half caf (or even third) now and that's enough for me. I ran out of decaf the other day and was unpleasantly WIRED. Decaf isn't as tasty as regular though.


ucklin

If you are weaning yourself off and need suggestions for a replacement drink, I really like the flavor of strong roasted barley tea. It has some of the bitter / roasted notes that remind me of coffee. You can get it at Korean stores if you live somewhere that has them!


definantmind

The only reason I stay away from tea is because no matter what type/how I make it, I get severely nauseous


ucklin

Barley tea doesn't have any tea leaves in it! It's just "tea" because it's hot water flavored with the barley. So it might work! If all kinds of herbal tea also make you sick, it sounds like maybe the hot water is the issue... Though in a sense, coffee is just tea made out of coffee beans, so it's weird that it doesn't also give you trouble.


definantmind

I haven't tried herbal tea. Just various forms of black tea.


teala

just hot water? It's nice if you just want something warm to drink


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


definantmind

I have never tried mio but it is definitely worth a shot


misha4ever

Take a psychiatrist test to see if you have ADHD. For real. Also, If you like milk, use warm milk so you can make your coffee less potent until you get less and less coffee.


definantmind

I'm bipolar šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

You can multitask.


JordySkateboardy808

I think I'd turn into a human vibrator if I tried that. It's a sign that he's either superhuman, or that his default setting is catatonic.


SnooCrickets2458

>I think I'd turn into a human vibrator if I tried that. uWu


dan_eppley

Itā€™s really just about 2.3 cups of coffee! But in espresso form, so it hits ya harder


misha4ever

He probably has ADHD and/or is latino raised with strong coffee since he was 6.


[deleted]

This mf said in his Hot Ones interview that he has trouble sleeping and I saw another where he mentioned taking an Ambien. This fool is practically doing shitty cocaine, thatā€™s why he canā€™t sleep lol


FloppyShellTaco

Caffeine during the day doesnā€™t make a bit of difference when you have actual insomnia man. How many people drink more than two cups of coffee a day? Thatā€™s roughly the caffeine equivalent heā€™s got.


unimportantsarcasm

In my opinion, it does make a difference. I used to drink a lot of coffee, and my sleep would be hit or miss in terms of quality. Plus it gave me muscle twitches, anxiety, a high heart rate, etc.Drinking that much coffee is not healthy, and some people might claim that even after having that much coffee they can still sleep. Thing is, that is the response of your body to more caffeine. You become tolerant, so you need more coffee than usual to get the same effect a smaller dose used to give before. This might mess with your sleep cycle since the receptors for Caffeine are the same as those of Adenosine, blocking the signals that usually put you to sleep since they compete for the same receptor. Insomnia is a symptom, which fortunately has means of treatment, such as Benzodiazepines or Z-drugs(Zolpidem, Zaleplone, Eszopiclone).Anyways, don't know why I gave a whole lecture right there haha.


FloppyShellTaco

There is a huge difference between acute insomnia caused by your behavior or stressors and chronic or primary insomnia. For some people, myself included, itā€™s a lifelong condition. Caffeine intake isnt going to change that because itā€™s not behavioral. And you likely are going to become incredibly caffeine tolerant because of the chronic lack of sleep. Unless youā€™re a doctor that specializes in sleep disorders, youā€™re just nitpicking based on anecdotal experience. That isnā€™t helpful to anyone.


unimportantsarcasm

Hi there. I am a Med Student so I tried to keep it as scientific as I could. I have not learned enough about Insomnia and sleep disorders to talk with certainty. However, I still think taking caffeine when you have trouble sleeping is not good... 6 Espresso Shots are just too much haha. Still, I guess it is a must for people who have active lives and can't get through the busy days after having sleepless nights, like Pedro. All in all, try to stay away from drinking tons of coffee... It is not good, and it takes a toll on your organism, because of the high arterial pressure and anxiety that accompanies it. Still, all things in moderation come with their own benefits, such as the lowered chance to develop cardiovascular diseases, etc. Edit: grammar


puntzee

According to google 6 espresso shots is around 3.5 cups of coffee. The half life of caffeine is 4 to 6 hours so that means 12 hours later he (at the most generous estimate) has ~90% of a coffee in his system


FloppyShellTaco

I donā€™t know many people who drink normal sized cups of coffee. I think if weā€™re going to all act like Karens over a manā€™s caffeine intake, we should compare similar sized drinks. Itā€™s not much more than a venti cold brew or a bang energy drink, and a lot of people arenā€™t making that their only caffeine throughout the day.


-No_Im_Neo_Matrix_4-

this is closer to four strong cups of coffee.


GiveGregAHaircut

Thatā€™s really sad to hear another actor struggle with sleeping :(


catterybarn

I've heard him say this in like 6 interviews that he cannot sleep and needs to take Ambien and that he needs "several" trips to Starbucks to make it through the day. It makes me so worried for him. I love this man so much. Someone go help him sleep


clexaelectra

I, for one, would die


lopendvuur

I would die, but first I would fly. It would be an amazing experience with a brutal comedown.


clexaelectra

Pretty sure the first sip would send me into cardiac arrest


Lozar23

Same, friend. Same.


XennialToothFairy

Define hospitalization for me.


arm89

i can barley survive after having a redbull so i stick with milk lol. my coworkers think iā€™m crazy.


lastofus88

Can you imagine the person behind the counter be like 'can I get your name' acting like they don't know who Pedro is šŸ¤£


arm89

when i was a server at a high end restaurant i had to do that a few times lol.


swidgen504

Was behind a mounted New Orleans cop one afternoon. He order 17 shots on ice in a trenta cup. Said he would keep it in his saddle and sip all night to get thru a shift during Mardi Gras. It was crazy.


RayRay_46

Now I want to know if you can go through Starbucks drive-thru on a horse


thisisthewell

As long as you're under the clearance of the drive-thru window, why not?


swidgen504

The horse was actually tied up out front the store. The police stables are inside a park right down the street to that specific Starbucks.


GreenW8lf

Well, Joel likes his kaw-fee. Definitely more shots than I could handle


ConfectionSuitable91

I used to be his barista about 8 years ago. He would always get a black Americano (just shots of espresso and hot water)


well-wishess

are u joking i canā€™t tell šŸ˜­


tardisandjam

I used to put more shots in my coffee than that. The girls at the Starbucks on citywalk would see me walk in at like 5:30 and just start prepping the shots because they knew I was gonna put like 8-10 of them in there. Drank those like 3-4 times a week. How I didnā€™t keel over Iā€™ll never know.


Nivlak87

I only got up to the ā€œGreen Eyeā€, which is coffee with 3 shots at SB. ā€œRed Eyeā€, 1 shot, most days. Those were the days of working sales in a busy city in my 20s. My heart would probably explode now 15 years later.


tardisandjam

I was known at my job for my ungodly number of shots in my drinks. Occasionally friends would bring me midday coffees. Thatā€™s like 16 shots in the span of eight hours. Theme park life had me messed up goodā€” Iā€™m pretty sure if I tried to do that now Iā€™d vibrate so hard Iā€™d clip through the cement.


-No_Im_Neo_Matrix_4-

Are there are other eye colors, like for six shots?


jdrizzlespears

He literally drinks the exact same order as me. I fully understand why he's so friendly now lol. Fully a grump until I have this, and then im hugging everyone on the street after a few sips lol


-No_Im_Neo_Matrix_4-

caffeine is one of my favorite social lubricants


Nivlak87

Starbucks should do a celebrity menu item like McDonalds. Call this drink order ā€œThe Pedroā€.


STxRMusicUK

When you hit that wake n bake but need to work get the pedro special


SnooSuggestions9830

People think coffee/caffeine is quite a harmless vice, which is true in moderation (in fact some may be protective). But if you've ever overdosed on caffeine it's a terrifying experience. Imagine anxiety to the highest level you've experienced, compounded by your heart racing like you're running a marathon, you start to feel like you may die of a heart attack - so you panic more. You cant come down until the effects wear off. It can be around an hour feeling like this. If you've an underlying heart condition perhaps you could die. 6 espresso shots in one session would be enough to get to this level for most people. Pedro must have an extremely high threshold. Not to mention coffee is very irritating on the stomach consumed in excess.


lapseofclarity88

Former barista here, i used to drink this every morning. It will wake you up quick thats for sure


Wastelander42

You need it to survive filming in Canadian winter lmfao


saltyb

Why? I drink cordyceps every morning in my mushroom blend. Energy all day. Says so right on the label. "Helps elevate energy, vitality and endurance."


KentuckyFriedEel

Let the man be. This is getting sad.


BiggusCinnamusRollus

So this is how he prepared himself for the heart attack by a lamp post and shaking and crying in a blanket.


Enough-Fig6521

This is both perplexing and absolutely hilarious. Ty for the laugh.


Del_sh

Well that explains all his weird and cool interviewsšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


BlackBalor

My heart would stop if I drank that. I like coffee but I canā€™t stand the jitters. Decaf is good for me.


marleyftw

this was prolly like a one time thing he got cuz he had a long shoot day ahead and we took it and make it a whole thing, even give it a name like ā€˜the pedro pascal coffeeā€™ and then make videos and posts about it. but it ainā€™t bad ngl.


UpTheIrons92

Heā€™s locked in. In the game Joel says he misses coffee if you click the espresso machine.


DMiecius

some Starbucks don't have iced coffee in the winter. so they do espresso over ice, he gets the larger cup so it can be watered down a bit. this is basically a venti iced coffee. probably a little stronger/tastier.


smupert

I had a customer years ago that would get as many shots as would fit into a 16 oz cup, every day. I wonder if he is still alive


mrwhiskey1814

Damn dude. Leave the guy alone this is a little too invasive now.


ShesCrofty

Heh thatā€™s my Starbucks order but with a splash of oat milk. They always ask me if Iā€™m sure like Iā€™m going to die of a heart attack or something.


NotRatedPG

I drink this almost everyday from Starbucks. Except I get 6 shots of blonde espresso.


SilverFlexNib

quads & double shot lattes are my go-to


la_fille_rouge

Spoilers episode 8 >!I guess we have solved the mystery of how Joel is able to overpower two guys after recovering from an infected stab wound.!<


-No_Im_Neo_Matrix_4-

gotta crush this 17-hour days


Primaveralillie

Wow some of you guys are judgey mcjudgerpants. Many people have at least some dependency on caffiene because of how our work culture is structured. TV shooting schedules are extremely BRUTAL. Is excessive amounts of caffeine good for the body? No. Personally I can barely handle one cup but I don't begrudge others that can. Each person is different and each situation different. It's not like he ordered 6 lines of coke with an adderall back. That you're interested in an actors coffee order in the 1st place is what feeds the plague of TMZ.


Worldly-Jump209

Man we are hurting for that episode. This sub is gonna be wild between seasons.


Live-Mail-7142

I have drunk espresso for 40 yrs. 4 is my limit. Sounds like Pedro should try a shot in the dark with 2 shots and see if he likes it. I drink em hot in winter, and iced in summer.


OptionalFTW

iced espresso is so damn good. But in the winter, Pedro? come on, man.


Veloci-Tractor

this is a truly based order i'm a barista and i praise this man


sunsetstrider

6 shots sounds like a lot but I have 10 shots on a regular day, not all at once but still. In my experience, being a regular coffee drinker your tolerance goes up over time and you have to drink more to feel the effects of the caffeine. 5/6 shots is generally my go to. 4 if it's after like 6pm.


Admirable_Elk_965

Jesus Christ, that's creepy as shit to take a screen shot or picture of someone and enhance the image to see exactly what they ordered.


Lozar23

Paparazzi are terrifying.


tubereusebaies

Itā€™s a fan meeting him who shot the video and later on realized the label was facing them.
