Product uniqueness
Coffee with cream (calorie content is given below in the article) is one of the favorite drinks of Europeans, created at the end of the 17th century by the Viennese Pan Kolczycki. Returning from Turkish captivity with several bags of coffee beans, the enterprising Hungarian decided to offer the strange Asian drink to the European public.
Correctly judging that sweet-loving Europeans were unlikely to agree to drink bitter black coffee, Pan Kolchitsky decided to improve the drink by adding heavy cream to it. The Europeans liked the new taste so much that a monument to Pan Kolczycki was erected in Vienna in the form of a man pouring cream into a cup of coffee.
Now Viennese coffee is one of the most popular dessert drinks, which is a mixture of espresso with whipped cream, orange zest, vanilla and chocolate chips.
In addition to the traditional recipe, there are several varieties of the drink:
- Palezzo is a Californian recipe consisting of 2 shots of espresso mixed with a sweet creamy mixture;
- Espresso con Panna is an Italian-invented version of the beloved cappuccino, in which bitter black coffee is served along with heavy cream and cinnamon.
- Irish cream - a combination of coffee, heavy cream and alcohol (brandy, cognac, almond or egg liqueur);
Types of coffee and cream for diet
The traditional recipe requires the use of roasted whole coffee beans, but modern realities have made their own changes and allow the use of ground coffee, instant granules or whole beans to prepare the coffee-cream mixture. Those who like to experiment can use green coffee beans.
You can add cream of any fat content to the drink, but to prepare foam it is recommended to use a product with a fat content of 35-40%. You can complement your coffee drink with whipped cream from a container, decorating it with chocolate chips or cinnamon.
For the diet, it is best to use whole coffee beans, grinding them yourself. Low-calorie cream is added to the drink; the maximum fat content should not exceed 20%. Do not add sugar, chocolate chips or alcohol to the drink. Nutmeg, cinnamon or ginger are used to improve the taste.
Calorie content of coffee with cream and sugar
The energy value of the drink largely depends on the amount of added sugar and cream. The caloric content of coffee can be counted up to 5 kilocalories, this is so small that it does not affect anything.
- A heaped teaspoon of granulated sugar – 30 kcal;
- A level teaspoon of granulated sugar – 20 kcal;
- Refined sugar - about 20-30, depending on the size of the pieces.
We calculate the total caloric intake:
Water – 0;
Ground grains – 2;
A heaped spoon of granulated sugar – 30;
A tablespoon or 2 bags of cream 10% – 25.
Total – 55-60 kilocalories per cup.
If you like a sweeter drink, or add a higher fat dairy product, the total number of kilocalories will not be difficult to calculate based on the figures given above..

Coffee with milk without sugar - calorie content of instant coffee and natural coffee
Many people enjoy invigorating coffee. Lovers of the aromatic drink do not forget to watch calories. Let's see how to calculate the calorie content of coffee with milk.
Compound
The natural product contains caffeine, which stimulates the nervous system and contains few calories. One serving of coffee beans contains about 60% carbohydrates, 10% proteins, and 15-20% fats.
Benefit
The drink is good for the body. It tones, improves memory and attention, and reduces the risk of cancer. But in combination with sugar and milk, black coffee acts differently, softer and slower.
Coffee addiction is not a disease; an invigorating drink will help you avoid Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. But before a long journey, the aromatic sweet drink with milk should be consumed carefully, it has a diuretic effect.
Milk can prevent esophageal cancer. If you add it to a flavored drink, calcium will be absorbed better.
Harm
Too hot can cause thermal burns to the tissues of the esophagus. By adding milk, the temperature will drop and there will be no harm to the stomach. Drinking boiled black coffee interferes with calcium absorption.
A thousand and one additions
Carbohydrates are not transferred into the drink during preparation. Frying and grinding do not affect calorie content.
The grains contain 2% glucose and fructose. They determine the calorie content of the invigorating drink. It contains almost no calories and even a few cups a day will not ruin your figure.
If sugar or milk is added, the calorie content will be different.
- The most dangerous product is sugar. Two spoons in one cup will add 50 kcal.
- When adding 100 ml of milk, the calorie content will increase by 50.
- A product with a fat content of 3.2% will add 65 kcal.
- With low fat it will be 30 more calories.
- Cream. Just 10 grams will add 20 to 60 calories.
- Chocolate syrup. One teaspoon will add 15 calories to the treat.
- Ice cream. One 50 gram ball will increase the calorie content by 113.5.
Coffee with milk and honey will be beneficial; it contains 78.5 units per 100 grams of product.
Calorie content
The drink itself is considered a low-calorie product; a cup without sweet additives contains two kilocalories per 100 grams.
With the classic popularity of black coffee, connoisseurs add honey, milk and other additives to it. They make the taste special.
The most popular additive is milk. It gives a mild taste and reduces the effect on the body. Women especially appreciate the velvety taste of coffee with milk, but do not forget about its calorie content. Let's figure out whether a drink with added milk poses a threat to an ideal figure.
Milk is a product with a certain fat content. The store product contains either 2.5% or 3.2%. For this reason, coffee cannot be low-calorie. Adding a homemade product will make the drink tastier, but it will also have more fat. Contains 27 kcal, soluble – 25.4.
Diet
For those who constantly adhere to a diet, it is important to know the nutritional value of coffee with milk without sugar. One hundred grams of product contains:
- Proteins – 1.77, 2% of the daily value.

In total, a cup of coffee with milk without sugar contains 26.91 kcal, 2% of the daily value in 2000. If you are on a diet, a portion will not harm. Even a whole mug without additives will not give you extra centimeters.
Let's keep score
If you are watching your weight and controlling the number of calories, it is better to count them separately.
For example, if you decide to drink a drink with sugar, then when calculating you should add the number of calories contained in two spoons of the sweet additive. This makes it easier to keep your own diet under control.

How many calories are in coffee with cream?
Caffeine itself has virtually no calories. A cup of black coffee contains 2-5 calories, which is why it is sometimes called a zero-calorie drink. Compared to the average consumed amount of 1700-2000 kcal per day, 2-5 kcal per cup of your favorite drink is almost nothing. Therefore, basically everything depends on the cream, its type and fat content.
It is most common to add two servings per medium cup. The portioned product is packaged in small plastic boxes of 10 grams. This is approximately one deep tablespoon. You can count calories in cream the way you want.
Number of calories in different types of cream

If you are counting calories, look at the numbers on the can. On average, it is generally accepted that whipped cream contains 260 calories per 100 grams of product.

The benefits and harms of instant coffee
By the way, instant coffee, despite such a convenient form, does great harm to a slim figure - even though a cup of an ordinary instant drink contains only about 2 kcal per 100 ml, the complex and sometimes incomprehensible chemical composition gives such a paradoxical reaction that the body perceives them as full 200. And if you count sugar, milk, cookies, sandwiches...
By the way, 200 kcal is equivalent to three sweet bananas, or a portion of fatty goulash, or a nice bowl of soup with rich pasta. And if you add sugar to a bag of instant coffee, its calorie content will jump almost to the skies and become equal to the calorie content of honey, marshmallows and marmalade, which is popular among those losing weight. Five cups of this coffee daily will give the same amount of calories as two large chocolates eaten just like that. But it seems like it’s just coffee!
The calorie content of one cup of coffee also depends on what a person understands by the word “cup”. If at first they drank coffee in really tiny, “one-sip” cups, then today, in the hasty twenty-first century, practically no one uses such inconvenient utensils - city residents already drink coffee from mugs. And in the USA, judging by Hollywood films that also show real life, they have long switched, thanks to the fast food system, to huge glasses with a lid, no less than 350 ml in volume. And this glass comes with a traditional donut, and not just one, but a whole bag! And where can there not be extra calories?
