How Many Calories Does Coffee Have?

Modern people often drink 1-2 cups of coffee daily to relieve life's stress and help stay alert at work. However, many coffee enthusiasts may not have correct concepts about coffee. So what kind of coffee should you choose?

Whether it's Americano, latte, or cappuccino, these are all common and popular coffee types. You often hear people say that coffee tastes better when served hot. What's the difference between drinking iced and hot coffee?

Advantages of Iced Coffee

1. Flavor Doesn't Change as It Cools

Iced coffee is already cold, so its taste won't change with temperature. When hot coffee cools down, it becomes bitter and hard to drink. However, iced coffee doesn't have this problem because it was never hot in the first place.

2. Cold Brew Coffee is More Convenient

No hot water needed - room temperature water can brew delicious coffee. You can even mix and grind coffee beans in a cup the night before work, add some water the next day, and take it with you. It's very convenient!

3. Cold Coffee Better Reveals Coffee Quality

Cold brewing can highlight coffee quality better. Because it's cold-brewed, the coffee's flavor becomes more pronounced. If inferior coffee is cold-brewed, you can immediately taste the difference.

4. Iced Coffee Enhances Flavor

Cold brew coffee reduces the bitterness released by hot water brewing, allowing fruit and woody aromas to emerge more distinctly. Drinking iced coffee not only gives you the original coffee taste but also allows you to experience the coffee's inherent aromas.

5. Iced Coffee is Better for Your Body and Taste Buds Than Hot Coffee

Many foods change flavor when heated, and coffee is no exception. Using cold brew or iced brewing methods can make coffee less acidic and easier to drink, while also being gentler on your stomach and teeth.

Coffee Calories and Recommendations

Americano has the lowest calories - compared to latte, the calorie difference can be as much as 13 times. If you want to lose weight, to avoid excessive calorie and sugar intake, we recommend choosing unsweetened black coffee without milk. Because it contains no sugar or other flavorings, its calories are much lower than other coffees; caffeine content is 101-200 milligrams.
