Many people can’t wake up in the morning without a cup of aromatic coffee, but it doesn’t have to be traditional black coffee. Now there are many variations of this drink thanks to various additives, included in its composition.
After the advent of coffee makers, many people liked this type of coffee, cappuccino. There are two options for preparing it:
- The black method is to pour coffee into a cup and put frothed milk on top.
- The white method is to pour milk first and then coffee.
The calorie content of this drink can be influenced by selecting its low-calorie ingredients.
At McDonald's, cappuccino comes in 0.2 and 0.3 liter volumes and consists of three ingredients: coffee beans (Arabica and Rabusta), milk (3.5% fat) and water. Sugar is added as desired. Thanks to the milk contained in cappuccino, calcium is not washed out of the body, but rather even increases.
200 g of sugar-free cappuccino from McDonald's contains 75 kcal. Each spoonful of sugar will add another 28 kcal to this drink.
The taste of cappuccino without sugar is quite pleasant and those who are worried about their figure can drink the drink in this form.
A small glass of McDonald's cappuccino with two spoons of sugar contains 131 kcal.

Cappuccino at home
You can make a classic Italian cappuccino yourself, getting a lot of pleasure from the process itself, and then from the aromatic drink.
Components:
- 2 teaspoons of ground coffee beans;
- 2 teaspoons sugar;
- 100 g milk;
- 100 g water;
- grated chocolate at your discretion.
Cooking technology:
- Pour coffee and sugar into a cup and stir well.
- Pour boiling water over it, and while the coffee is steeping, make milk foam.
- Bring the milk to a boil on the stove and immediately pour it into a blender, where you beat until foam forms.
- Pour the foam over the coffee and sprinkle chocolate on top.
The beauty of making cappuccino at home is that you can regulate its calorie content yourself. For example, take milk with a lower percentage of fat content, or add less sugar, and if you are on a diet, avoid it altogether, use dark chocolate (it has less calories), or replace it with cinnamon.
Or you can slightly modify the recipe , adding various ingredients as desired, and invent your own signature cappuccino recipe.

Denis Blishch. Private opinion
▶︎ IT courses that I recommend will teach you and help you find a job.
200 rubles discount using promo code BLISH ◀︎ I have already written more than once that I unexpectedly became addicted to coffee.
Since last summer I have been drinking two or three cups of it every day. I prefer cappuccino - coffee that is difficult to spoil. For my taste, the best one is made at the United Company near the house in Lebyazhye, but at worst you can get a glass at any fast food chain. I had a separate post about this. So, from time to time, drinking coffee in fast food stores, I caught myself thinking that one of them, it seemed, was not refilled. It was crazy to even think about it, but the sensations did not go away over and over again. In short, I couldn’t resist: I bought a measuring cup and went to the station, where all the “Big Three” American chains operate, to personally conduct the experiment. In short, they don’t top it up, now it’s a fact.
Of course, my experiment does not claim to be absolutely accurate. I carried it out in a simple, everyday way: I went to the hardware store near the house and bought a plexiglass measuring cup for 2 rubles 45 kopecks. He later threw the glass away so as not to leave traces, for which he was scolded by his wife (it turns out that we also need one for our house). I'll have to buy another one.
Then I went to the station and bought the largest portion of cappuccino and Americano at each of the outlets - McDonald's, KFC and Burger King. Why the biggest? On the largest ones, if there is underfilling, it will be visible best.
I started with McDuck, where I ordered two 400 ml servings of drinks.
I decided to drink and experiment in the nearest gateway on the lid of the air-raid shelter's ventilation shaft. Romantic!
Before announcing the first data, I want to talk a little about cappuccino foam. Firstly, it turned out to be different for everyone and, for example, at Makov’s it simply did not want to transfer from their glass into my measuring container. Secondly, I personally don’t understand how to evaluate it - as the volume of the drink or as an aesthetic addition to it, which has no practical value due to the lack of a spoon for eating? Question...
And Google didn’t help me with anything here, so draw your own conclusions.
So, the specific drink in a serving with the stated 400 milliliters came out to about 330 (the norm is circled in red).
With Americano everything turned out to be much more transparent. “Mak” pours it, and with a specific reserve - there were about 450 ml in the glass.
Afterwards I went to KFC and ordered the maximum cappuccino and Americano. In this case, the stated volumes are 400 and 300 milliliters, respectively.
Here, too, I would like to insert a remark. It seems to me that until recently, both KFC and Mac did not sell cappuccino servings larger than 300 ml, but one of them was the first to decide to increase the dose, and some followed suit. Is there more information?
The experiment was carried out in the same yard, but on a bench.
The Americano from KFC is poured like a textbook - exactly 300 ml.
But the cappuccino turned out to be bad. The liquid itself is only 250 (!) ml, and even a huge dense, loose cap that fell gurgling into the glass did not cover the difference with the declared volume - about 15-20 ml was not enough.
Well, then I went to the railway station waiting room, where I ordered similar drinks at Burger King. Here they are presented in maximum doses of 300 ml.
The experiment was carried out on the concourse stairs leading to the second platform.
Burger King shamelessly underfills in both cases, although it would seem that if you had added more water to the Americano...
With cappuccino, however, it’s not so clear. The drink is 250 milliliters (like KFC in a “400” portion, bgggg), but the cap reaches the stated 300:
What can I say, guys.
Fast food companies seem to be saving even on milk and water, trying to offer the largest volume at the lowest price. We got carried away with competition, as always, forgetting about the consumer. ▶︎ Unexpected nooks and crannies of Minsk, strange finds, funny details.

McDonalds latte - calorie content, composition, properties
Very often, visitors take a delicate, milky, aromatic Latte. In another way, the name of the drink sounds like coffee with milk. Its current cost is 99 rubles. To make Latte you will need:
- freshly roasted Robusta and Arabica beans powder
- UHT milk - fat content 3.2%
- filtered water
- sugar, syrup
Latte has the same calorie content as Glace - 125 kcal. It is better to drink coffee after breakfast or lunch. Thanks to the milk drink, metabolism increases, reproductive functions in the body of men improve, mood improves, energy and mental activity increase and blood pressure normalizes.
If you drink coffee regularly, you will reduce the risk of various diseases. In particular, a number of pathologies can be excluded: Parkinson’s disease, malignant tumors in the intestines, liver, pancreas, etc.
If you like your coffee sweeter, then order a Latte with syrup at McDonald's. The pleasant aroma of the syrup will mix with the smell of the grains and you will experience a new taste.
Calories - subtleties of calculation for a coffee and milk drink in the classic version
To understand how many calories are in cappuccino, you need to calculate their number for each component of the drink. Considering that the original recipe contains natural espresso coffee, whipped milk or cream and milk foam, it is not difficult to derive a simple formula.
So, in the classic version, coffee and milk along with foam are in a ratio of 1:6. It turns out that one cup is 25-35 ml of espresso and about 140 ml of milk and foam. More often, full-fat milk is used (from 3.5% to 4% fat). In this case, its calorie content will be 60-61 kcal.
Cream with 10% fat content is already 120-122 kcal. It turns out that the calorie content of 1 cup of drink will be from 84 to 168 kcal, depending on the type of milk used. Sugar will also affect your overall caloric intake. Two teaspoons is about 40 more kcal. It turns out that the average cup of Italian coffee is 208 kcal, which is quite a lot for those who are on a diet.
