How Many Calories Does Coffee Have?

Modern people drink 1-2 cups of coffee daily to relieve life's troubles and help refresh their minds at work, which is not uncommon. However, many coffee enthusiasts may not have correct concepts about coffee. What kind of coffee should you choose? How many cups can you drink per day?

In fact, it's best to control your daily coffee intake to under 2 cups, with total daily caffeine intake not exceeding 300 milligrams. Although coffee has refreshing effects, excessive caffeine intake can easily cause palpitations, insomnia, and has diuretic effects. Pregnant mothers should reduce their coffee intake, with daily caffeine intake less than 200 milligrams, as many studies show that excessive consumption increases the risk of miscarriage, and caffeine may also affect fetal development and growth.

Calculated by convenience store medium cups (approximately 360ml per cup), Americano has the lowest calories, with the calorie difference compared to latte reaching up to 13 times. If you want to lose weight and avoid excessive calorie and sugar intake, it's recommended to choose unsweetened black coffee without milk.

1. Americano (Hot): 9 calories/cup

Because it contains no sugar and other flavorings, the calories are much lower than other coffees. Caffeine content: 101-200 milligrams.

2. Latte (Hot): 152 calories/cup

In latte coffee, milk is the main character. The standard ratio is 1/6 espresso, 4/6 steamed milk, and 1/6 milk foam. Additionally, different flavors such as hazelnut, cinnamon, or vanilla can be added. Caffeine: 101-200 milligrams.

3. Cappuccino: 115 calories/cup

In cappuccino, coffee is the main character. The difference from latte lies in the amount of milk. The standard ratio is evenly divided into three equal parts: 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk, and 1/3 milk foam. Caffeine content is also 101-200 milligrams.

Both latte and cappuccino are made from espresso plus steamed milk and milk foam heated by steam nozzles. The main difference lies in the ratio variations between coffee and milk. Meanwhile, room temperature canned coffee mainly consists of water, sugar, milk components (milk powder), and coffee. To avoid milk protein deterioration and oil separation during high-temperature sterilization, two food additives are added: sodium bicarbonate and emulsifiers, making the flavor completely different from freshly brewed coffee.
