Coffee Calories Chart

Black coffee is nearly calorie-free. The calories in a coffee drink come almost entirely from milk, sugar, and syrup. This chart shows the difference.

Drink	Serving	Calories
Black coffee	8 oz	2
Espresso	1 oz	1
Americano	8 oz	5
Cold brew (black)	8 oz	5
Cappuccino	6 oz	60
Latte	12 oz	150
Mocha	12 oz	290
Blended frappe	16 oz	400 plus

Milk and syrup, not coffee. The coffee itself adds almost nothing. To cut calories, scale back the milk and skip the flavored syrups rather than the coffee.

FAQ

Why do coffee shop drinks vary so much in calories? Milk type, added sugar or syrup, and whipped cream account for almost all the calorie difference, since black coffee itself is nearly calorie-free. A latte with whole milk and syrup can carry many times the calories of the same size drink made with black coffee. Sugar-free syrups and non-dairy milk alternatives can shift the calorie count significantly in either direction, so it’s worth checking a specific drink’s actual recipe rather than assuming based on category alone.
