Scott Patterson (aka Luke Danes from 'Gilmore Girls') has teamed up with Warner Bros. to release three new coffee blends inspired by the iconic show, including a Luke’s Diner Blend.
On Gilmore Girls, Patterson played the coffee-slinging owner of Luke’s Diner, which means coffee was a big part of the role. Since then, Patterson has launched his very own coffee brand, Scotty P’s Big Mug Coffee, and now this brand has joined forces with Warner Bros. to get some Gilmore Girls coffee out the door. In all, there are three sitcom-themed blends for fans to enjoy: Luke’s Diner Blend (a medium roast), Dragonfly Inn Talk Fast Blend (an extra caffeinated blend), and Stars Hollow Signature Blend (a light roast).
The co-branded coffees are currently available from the Warner Bros. Studio Store.
