An 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.

Are cappuccino, latte or filter coffee in these records?

No. This page has no row for cappuccino, latte, frappe, filter coffee, masala chai or cold coffee: a search of the SR Legacy table on 28 Oct 2026 for cappuccino, latte and frappe returned no record, and IFCT 2017 has no coffee or tea row. 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.
