Calories in Espresso, Instant Coffee and Herbal Tea
Track this in NYUS. NYUS builds a workout plan and an Indian-food diet plan from your goal, body, schedule and food preferences.
Join the NYUS waitlistAn espresso, a cup of instant coffee, a milk-based iced coffee, a cup of oolong or herbal tea and a lemon iced tea each have a fluid-ounce, cup or spoon weight printed on their SR Legacy record page. This guide gives twenty-six such records from the SR Legacy table of USDA FoodData Central: espresso, brewed and instant coffee, mocha and milk-based ready-to-drink coffees, coffee substitutes, oolong, chamomile, other herbal and hibiscus teas, green and black teas, homemade hot cocoa, a fast food smoothie and two fast food shakes, with the weights printed on their record pages. IFCT 2017, the Indian Food Composition Tables from ICMR-NIN, has no coffee or tea row, so this page uses SR Legacy only. Masala chai, filter coffee and milk and sugar are in our chai and coffee guide, cocoa and malted drink mixes in our cocoa and malted drink guide and sugarcane juice, coconut water and milk in our sugarcane juice, coconut water and milk guide.
The short answer
By the SR Legacy records, 1 fl oz (29.6 g) of restaurant-prepared espresso is 2.7 kcal, 1 serving of 6 fl oz (179 g) of instant coffee prepared with water 3.6 kcal, 9.5 fl oz (265 g) of ready-to-drink iced mocha coffee with milk 159.0 kcal, 1 cup (237 g) of brewed chamomile tea 2.4 kcal and 1 cup (250 g) of homemade hot cocoa 192.5 kcal. Our reading: the drink is nearly its additions: black coffee and plain tea rows are near zero, while the milk, sugar and chocolate rows are the ones that add up.

SR Legacy: per printed portion
Each figure is our arithmetic on exact weights: kcal per 100 g times the grams, divided by 100, with the exact product in the sums line and the result shown to 0.1 with half rounding up. Every weight below is printed on the SR Legacy record page; none is ours. The portions are the records' own fluid ounce, cup, spoon and serving labels with their gram weights. Record 174120 (oolong tea) prints no household portion and appears per 100 g only.

Why these are reference rows, not your cup
- Names are the records'. No record name or portion label shown here carries a company name. The records are USDA's brewed, instant, ready-to-drink and homemade rows; we do not say that a cafe drink, a sachet or a stall chai matches any of them.
- No row for cappuccino, latte, frappe, filter coffee or chai. A search of the SR Legacy table on 28 Oct 2026 for cappuccino, latte and frappe returned no record, so the page gives no figure for them. Milk and sugar are separate: our chai and coffee guide has them.
- IFCT 2017 has no coffee or tea row. That is why this page uses SR Legacy for every row.
- Every portion here is printed. No cup, fluid ounce or spoon weight on this page is ours: each is printed on its record page, and the only weight that is ours is the labelled 100 g example in the logging section.
- The records' own notes. The record pages mark the kcal energy of 18 of the 26 records "Calculated" and print recipe per package directions as the source of the energy of 5 (174130, 174134, 174139, 175090, 171277) and a label claim for 3 (171877, 171910, 174144); they are USDA values, not our measurements.
How to log it so the numbers hold
- Log the drink and its additions. 100 g of restaurant-prepared espresso (our example weight, not a dataset value) on SR Legacy 171891 is 9 × 100 / 100 = 9, so 9.0 kcal; milk, sugar and syrup are separate rows.
- Pick the nearest record and say which. Brewed, instant, ready-to-drink and homemade rows are different foods; the same weight of each gives different calories.
- Sugar and milk are in other guides. A teaspoon of sugar is in our teaspoon guide and milk in our milk guide.
- Do not mix datasets inside one day. If you log a drink from SR Legacy, keep to that record for the same cup.
Where NYUS fits (our app)
We make NYUS, so read this as ours. NYUS is an AI fitness and nutrition coach in early access on Android, with no ads and no data selling. You log foods yourself by searching 8,900+ Indian and global foods or by barcode, and a weekly check-in adjusts your calories, macros and step goal once enough is logged. Barcode coverage of Indian packaged foods is not complete, so search by name when a scan finds nothing.
What this page leaves out
- A calorie target, and any claim about what coffee or tea does to your weight, sleep or health: we have not looked up one for any person, so we give none. If you have a medical condition, ask your doctor or dietitian.
- Cappuccino, latte, frappe, filter coffee, masala chai, cold coffee, kahwa, bubble tea and any cafe or home version: no record used here. A search of the SR Legacy table on 28 Oct 2026 for cappuccino, latte and frappe returned no record. Searches of the same table for masala tea, cold coffee, kahwa and bubble tea also returned no record, and "chai" returned one company-named soymilk record, 173776, left out.
- The "coffee" search returned 31 records: 14 used, and these 17 are left out: company-named 175224, 171898; decaffeinated or half-caffeine variants 174133, 171894, 174126, 174125, 171889, 174127, 174154; liqueur (our cocktails guide) 175097, 173665, 175098; already in our chai, coffee or drinks guide 171890; candy 169634, 169637; cream or oil 170857, 172367. The records 171877 (light) and 168122 (reduced calorie) are used above, so light and reduced calorie coffees are not all left out.
- The "tea" search returned 42 records: 8 used, and these 34 are left out: already in our chai, coffee or drinks guide 171917, 173227, 174873; black tea brewed with distilled water 174155; decaffeinated or half-caffeine variants (the decaffeinated green tea 171910 is used above) 174872, 173212, 173228, 173229, 173211, 174871, 174143; diet or reduced calorie variants 173231, 171885, 174129, 171892, 174855, 174121; instant tea powders and mixes 175088, 173230, 175089, 171918, 175091; Alaska Native or traditional 169828, 167620; company-named 175110, 171924, 174847, 175111, 173218, 173215; already in an earlier guide 171911, 174128, 168014; other 171883 Beverages, tea, green, ready to drink, ginseng and honey, sweetened.
- The "hot chocolate" search returned 7 records: 1 used, and these 6 are left out: company-named 171887, 174124; cocoa mixes 171886, 174122, 174123, 175092 (174122 and 174123 are rows of our cocoa and malted drink guide).
- The "smoothie" search returned 13 records: 1 used, and these 12 are left out: company-named 173186, 174829, 174830, 168208, 168213, 167797, 167798, 167799, 168206, 167796, 167795, 168214.
- The "shake" search returned 11 records: 2 used, and these 9 are left out: company-named 170700, 174823, 173172, 167514, 173170, 173174; already in an earlier guide 170883, 170884; nutritional shakes, meal replacements and a coating mix 174181.

- Nutrients beyond energy, protein, fat and carbohydrate: not covered here.

Milk, sugar and chai are in our chai and coffee guide, which uses its own records. The espresso, instant coffee and milk-based ready-to-drink coffee records here are USDA's, and we do not say that a cafe drink matches any of them; the milk and syrup of a cafe drink are not in the espresso row.
