Cole Hauser lifts the lid on what he did 'old school' on 'Dutton Ranch' set

Cole Hauser has finally revealed the name of the person who drank the most coffee on the set of Dutton Ranch.

For those unaware, the 51-year-old American actor played the role of Rip Wheeler in an American television series created by Chad Feehan. The series followed “Beth Dutton [Kelly Reilly] and Wheeler fight to survive on their cherished 7,000-acre ranch amid tough times and stiff competition, while ensuring young Carter becomes the man he's supposed to be,” as per IMDb.

During his interview with PEOPLE magazine, the conversation turned to his coffee brand, Free Rein Coffee’s new protein collection launch, when Hauser was asked who had the most cups of coffee while filming Dutton Ranch.

He replied with an admission, “Oh yeah. I got them whipped for sure. I drink, like, four cups a day, probably. I drink it until about one o’clock. I could drink it all day long. It’s my favorite.”

The Yellowstone star went on to explain that he is “a little old school” when it comes to coffee and likes “black coffee.”

Hauser quipped, “But this is an exciting new piece to Free Rein that our team has put together. It’s kind of [Free Rein Coffee Company CEO] Arlyn [Davich]’s baby, her creation.”

“I’ve been working, as you know, for the last nine months, so they’ve done a wonderful job of putting together a delicious protein coffee mix that we’d hope will kick some ass in the marketplace,” he shared.

It is pertinent to mention that Dutton Ranch premiered on Paramount+ on May 15, 2026, and after a record-setting first season, the show has been renewed for a sophomore season.
