Show me a person who doesn't like coffee. When hanging out with friends, a loved one, or just to cheer up, many people visit establishments that serve high-quality, tasty drinks and interesting desserts to go with it. Today, the coffee chain Starbucks is gaining popularity. Its first stores appeared in the USA. Yes yes, you heard right!
Precisely shops, because initially there were no drinks, but only the sale of roasted coffee and tasting to choose from when buying beans. The creators, contemplating the expansion of the Starbucks network, realized one truth - drinking a magical drink at home is not as interesting as in a cozy establishment where you can invite friends and have fun conversations. Since then, the shops have turned into coffee shops, and the range offered has expanded significantly; now you can not only have a snack here, but also have a full lunch. You can see the network in 66 countries around the world, and everywhere you will be served a delicious drink!
Calorie content of Starbucks drinks and dishes
A cup of aromatic coffee with a wonderful cake or dessert is an ideal pastime for many. However, visiting cafes too often can affect your figure. Therefore, people watching their weight are probably interested in learning about the energy value of the dishes offered by their favorite establishment. Today we will talk about the calorie content of the Starbucks menu.
Currently, the Starbucks coffee chain can be found in almost every city in the world. The establishment has become the most popular and profitable in its field, surpassing its competitors.
Background
At the end of the twentieth century in America, three people with the most ordinary professions (teachers and a writer) decided to do something special, change their lives and start over. Friends had many ideas, but while thinking about their next project over a cup of coffee, the main idea came to them - opening a store where they could sell the beans of this drink.
Having recreated the idea, they occasionally held tastings until they realized that it was much more pleasant for people not to sit at home with hot coffee, but to spend time in a cozy establishment with company. And soon the store retrained into a coffee shop. This served to expand it and create a whole network of Starbucks cafes. The menu also expanded, first adding desserts and other drinks, and then main courses and breakfasts.
Popular dishes
Frappuccino
The most famous and beloved product in the Starbucks chain is the Frappuccino. This is a coffee drink that contains a lot of syrups and whipped cream. Therefore, it is very high in calories. And about 15 tablespoons of sugar per serving plus heavy cream makes it a cocktail for future subcutaneous fat.
The presence of such an amount of sugar causes a feeling of pleasure and addiction in the neural centers, which acts akin to a light drug. And the syrups contain fructose, which is a rather harmful, but beneficial sugar substitute for manufacturers. It tastes much sweeter, and the calorie content is very high. It also acts on neural impulses, causing addiction.
Hot chocolate
The most requested drink at Starbucks on Christmas and New Year's Eve is the spiced peppermint hot chocolate. The recipe contains heavy cream and chocolate, which are quite nutritious on their own. And, of course, a large amount of syrups and sugar. Together they amount to 750 kilocalories.
Considering that the drink is often accompanied by dessert from Starbucks, for example, small muffins, which consist of 400 kcal, or cookies with chocolate and cranberry (about 500 kcal), caramel waffles - 200 kcal. at 24 g, then in one such snack you consume half of your daily calorie intake.
Other drinks
Latte (220 kcal) and macchiato (240 kcal) have the highest calorie content from the menu list. This is because they contain many sweet additives, such as syrup, cream and chocolate. Americano (160 kcal) is the best choice, although it contains a lot of sugar. A cappuccino without sugar will cost 140 kilocalories.
Also on the Starbucks menu is regular tea, mango tea, and spiced tea latte. Tea itself does not carry many calories. But a large amount of syrup is added to it, which raises the calorie content of regular tea in 300 g to 190 kcal, spicy latte tea to 160, and mango tea will consist of 250 kcal.

What to choose in a cafe if you are watching your figure?
If you are a connoisseur of quality coffee, then to enjoy and feel the taste of the drink, you do not need to disguise it with syrups, cream, chocolate and sugar. When choosing tea, also opt for its pure form, without additives. For those who like milk in their coffee, there is an offer - “skimmed milk”. Don't go for the grande size, go for a small or medium size. Enjoy your favorite drink in small sips, and then the difference in volume will be unnoticeable, but you will cut the number of calories in half.
On the menu you can find oatmeal, a wonderful dish that is good for the stomach and satisfies hunger, as well as sliced fruit - a storehouse of vitamins and fiber. Although the Starbucks cafe chain is classified as fast food, you can find interesting positions here.
Don't eat food while running, stop and enjoy the moment. You need to live not to eat, but to eat to live. Living with this rule, your figure will be beautiful!
A few words about the brand
Starbucks was founded in 1971 in Seattle, Washington, by three friends - English teacher Jerry Baldwin, writer Gordon Bowker and history teacher Zev Siegl.
The company won over consumers by emphasizing from the very beginning the taste and quality of its products, as well as a high level of service.
It is not known exactly why the company was named that way. There are two main versions:
At first, the company purchased green coffee beans from Peet's Coffee, then switched to direct purchases from farmers. And in 1979, the founding friends bought Peet's Coffee, which provided a new opportunity for expansion.
In 1987, the owners sold the company to Howard Schultz, who had previously worked for them, and at that time owned his own chain of coffee outlets, Il Giornale. Howard changed the name of his stores and renamed the entire enterprise to Starbucks Corporation.
Up to this point, the company was also developing and expanding, but it was Schultz who accelerated this process as much as possible. The first enterprise outside America appeared in Tokyo in 1996. And already in 2021, Starbucks owned 29,000 retail outlets in 75 countries.
In Russia, in 2004, the Starbucks brand was registered by Starbucks LLC. It had nothing to do with the American company; as a result, the corporation sued the impostors and won the case. The first branded coffee shop eventually appeared in the Russian Federation only in 2007 in the capital.
By 2021, more than 100 coffee shops had already been opened in the country, the bulk of which were located in Moscow, many times less in St. Petersburg, and a few in Rostov, Yekaterinburg, Samara, Kazan, Tyumen, Krasnodar, Yaroslavl and Sochi.
Starbucks in Russia today
You can recognize the brand by its logo, which depicts a sea siren. At the moment, its fourth version, adopted in 2011, is considered valid:
You can drink delicious coffee not only in a coffee shop, but also order delivery to your office or home. Takeaway coffee has become especially popular during the pandemic. The promotion is called: “Take the holiday with you.”
The concept of a “Starbucks franchise” does not exist, but this does not mean that you cannot become a partner of the company. The company simply offers slightly different ways of cooperation. There are known exceptions, but they concern famous personalities. Such proposals are considered by the head of the company on an individual basis.
Regardless of the method of cooperation, the company strictly monitors compliance with its requirements. This is done to ensure that the brand is still positioned with quality and a high level of customer service.
Types and cost of coffee at Starbucks
The Starbucks coffee collection includes more than 100 varieties and blends of selected Arabica beans collected from plantations in Ethiopia, Guatemala, Colombia, Indonesia, and Kenya. Depending on the type of grain, it is subjected to appropriate processing - wet, dry or semi-dry.
Starbucks coffee servings have their own names:
Please note that each type of drink can be prepared from different types of coffee. This is one of the secrets of the perfect taste of Starbucks products. After all, everyone can choose a drink that fully suits their taste.
You can order your favorite drink hot or cold, prepared in a coffee machine or French press. You can also always have a snack in the company's coffee shops. The main line, aimed at quality of products and service, remains to this day. This is what attracts more and more clients.
The prices of some products can be seen in the photo:

How many calories are in a standard serving of cappuccino?
First, let's define what is considered a standard. There are a lot of cooking options, and they vary depending on the specific establishment. Initially, the supply was 90 milliliters: 30 milliliters each of coffee, milk and whipped foam. Today, 150 or 180 milliliters are usually prepared, sometimes serving larger volumes is found, for example, in chain cafes, where coffee is served not in small heated cups, but in large cardboard glasses, 350-450 grams each, simply because it is profitable.
If you serve cappuccino according to all the rules, its portion will be exactly 150-180 milliliters.
The classic recipe does not involve the use of sweeteners. Light sweetness comes from whipped milk foam. And the overall nutritional component depends on the fat content and characteristics of this ingredient. In a standard recipe, 3-4% fat content is usually used, because the fat quickly and easily whips the liquid into a dense foam. A well-whipped foam should support the weight of a heaping teaspoon of granulated sugar, you can experiment in a coffee shop, but keep in mind that sweeteners seriously increase the overall nutritional value.
Milk with a fat content of 3.5% has 60 kilocalories per 100 grams. For preparation, take 100 or 120 ml. That is, in a cup it turns out:
- 2 kilocalories in ground grains;
- 60 – 72 kcal in dairy products.
Total - 62-74 in a standard cup without added sugar or sweeteners.

This is only a small part of the range, but from the information provided by the company one can conclude that a high level of quality is important to the company.
Starbucks coffee recipe
In addition to traditional drinks, you can also try unusual branded options in Starbucks coffee shops. If you want to cook something original and very tasty at home, use the recipes presented below.
For ease of preparation, you can use an espresso shot glass with measuring divisions.
1 shot = 1 small serving = 1 ounce (about 30 ml).
Caramel Macchiato
Frappuccino Matcha
The drink is prepared on the basis of Japanese Matcha tea powder. This component is considered an antioxidant, stimulates the production of so-called happiness hormones, and helps cope with stress. The tea has a rather tart taste. But this recipe smoothes out the harsh aftertaste, making the drink balanced and very tasty.

Starbucks reviews
Excellent service, very cozy room. The coffee is amazing, but too expensive.
The cafe is cozy, everything on the menu is tasty and unusual. But the prices are sky-high!
I really like these coffee shops. Pleasant interior, high-quality service, you can receive gifts using the buyer's card. The coffee is very tasty. On the downside, I didn’t like the cheesecake last time. I still don’t agree that the grain itself is as high quality as they claim.
I'm also a coffee lover, I don't drink this drink very often. But I decided to go to the advertised Starbucks. I liked the cafe itself; I saw profitable promotions using the buyer’s card. But very expensive, and the taste is so-so.
Types of coffee at Starbucks: recipes, calorie content, how to make
The Starbucks brand was founded in 1971, and initially only one store selling and roasting coffee beans bore this name. But a few years later, the company expanded into a chain of coffee shops and immediately gained fame among coffee lovers around the world. The founders of the brand relied on the quality and taste of drinks and roasted beans, as well as first-class service, and this immediately attracted public attention to them. At the moment, more than 25 thousand Starbucks coffee shops are open in the world.
The main advantages of the Starbucks coffee chain are an individual approach to recipes and a wide range of drinks: the ability to add or change ingredients depending on the wishes of visitors. If previously the variety of coffee drinks in general was small, now the Starbucks menu includes several dozen items, which will be discussed further.

Hot drinks based on espresso: proportions
The majority of coffee drinks at Starbucks are prepared using a coffee machine based on ground dark roast Espresso Roast coffee beans. Also, in any coffee shop you can order your favorite coffee drink, which is prepared using a seasonal variety of coffee and even decaf - based on Decaf Espresso Roast beans.
Espresso shots
For those who appreciate pure coffee, espresso shots have been invented. Starbucks has 4 types of this type of coffee drink: Espresso Solo, Espresso Doppio, Espresso con Panna and Espresso Macchiato.
Espresso Solo/Doppio
Espresso Solo consists of one shot of espresso prepared on an espresso machine and does not contain milk. Espresso Doppio differs from Solo only in the presence of two espresso shots. The volume of Espresso Solo is only 23 ml, Espresso Doppio – 46 ml.
Espresso Macchiato
Those who do not like to drink espresso without adding milk can try this drink, since its recipe, in addition to espresso, includes whipped milk foam. Volume – 35 ml (Solo)/58 ml (Doppio).
Espresso con Panna
This type of coffee is also called Viennese coffee. It contains one or two shots of espresso and whipped cream. Volume – 29 ml/52 ml.
Each of the following drinks is prepared in one of three volumes: toll (355 ml), grande (473 ml) and venti (592 ml of pure happiness for the true coffee connoisseur). You can also try any of these drinks cold.
Americano
A drink made from 2/3/4 shots of espresso (depending on volume) with the addition of hot water.
Cappuccino
A drink known to everyone, the recipe of which is almost the same in all coffee shops. 1 shot of espresso for tall and 2 for grande and venti, aerated milk and foam in a 50/50 ratio.
Latte
Also a fairly common coffee drink. It differs from cappuccino only in the ratio of foam and milk: in a latte, 90 percent milk accounts for 10 percent foam.
Latte Macchiato
It is prepared from the same ingredients as a regular latte, with one exception: first the milk is frothed and espresso shots are poured into it. Due to this, the espresso is evenly distributed and the taste becomes softer.
Mocha
It is one of the most delicious and high-calorie hot drinks at Starbucks due to the presence of chocolate and whipped cream. The rest of the recipe is the same as a latte – foam and milk in a ratio of 90/10 and 1/2/2 shots of espresso.
Caramel Macchiato
A very popular drink among Starbucks guests, it is also very sweet and tasty. It is prepared in the same way as Latte Macchiato, but with the addition of vanilla syrup and a caramel pattern.
Flat White
The recipe for this drink is similar to the latte recipe. It is prepared only in toll volume to maintain the desired ratio of milk and coffee. It includes 2 espresso shots (instead of one in a latte) and aerated milk. At Starbucks, this Flat White is traditionally served with let-art. Volume – 354 ml.

Contraindications and recommendations
You might decide that if you are allergic to milk or caffeine, you won't be able to try Starbucks coffee. But this is the wrong conclusion. Starbucks prepares drinks for different people, including those with allergies. You can replace regular 1.5% fat milk with 0.5% fat, soy, lactose-free or coconut milk. Also, any espresso-based drink can be made from decaf beans. Do not forget that even decaf beans contain a small amount of caffeine, so coffee is contraindicated for people with hypertension and any other serious cardiovascular diseases, even in this form. It is also important to note that excessive coffee consumption can cause insomnia.
As for the recommendations for drinking coffee at Starbucks (apply to any coffee-based drinks): coffee is a medicinal drink for people with hypotension - low cardiovascular pressure; coffee drinks reduce pain from migraines, stimulate lung function and improve appetite. There is no need to talk about the tonic properties of coffee, as well as the fact that it increases performance.
Calorie content of cappuccino with different types of milk or cream
Different establishments prepare it differently, in some places the recipes are relatively standard, in others they offer a choice of different types of dairy products, for example, low-fat or soy. Sometimes they are cooked with cream; as a rule, they are either low-fat or low-calorie. Fatty ones are not used as they would have to be added in large quantities, which would change the taste to a decidedly creamy rather than coffee-like flavor and would affect the texture. We offer a calculation table with different types of additives per volume of 150 grams.
| Type of milk or cream | Kilocalories per 100 milliliters | Per 150 ml serving including two kcal in espresso |
| 0,1% | 31 | 33 |
| 1,5% | 44 | 46 |
| 2,5% | 52 | 54 |
| 3,5% | 61 | 63 |
| Soy 0.1% | 28 | 30 |
| Soy 0.6% | 43 | 45 |
| Skim cream | 60 | 62 |
| Cream 10% | 120 | 122 |
You can ask the barista to prepare you a drink with skim milk; many cafes, especially in large cities, have this option.
Chain cafe bars set their own standards for recipes, and usually indicate nutritional indicators in their recipes, as well as volume. You can get information either from the menu or from the websites of the companies you buy your drink from. For example, at McDonald's, all the menu details are usually written on a paper tray insert. Again, you can ask the waiter or the barista directly for the layout. For example, offer options from the most popular brands:
| Network name | Portion volume, ml | Nutritional significance |
| McDonald's | 200 / 300 | 75 / 123 |
| Starbucks | 350 | 140 |
| Coffee mania | 330 / 450 | 90 / 160 |
| Coffee House | 100 | 64 |
| Chocolate girl | 320 | 125 |
Calorie content of cappuccino from a machine
On average, coffee machines dispense 180-200 milliliters of liquid into a standard plastic cup.
It's difficult to make an accurate count because you usually have no idea what kind of dairy product is being used. Let's make a calculation for a standard 2.5% fat content, provided that natural grains are used and not soluble powder. 2 (coffee) + 62 (2.5% fat milk) = 64
Calories of the drink "Cappuccino" in bags
This, of course, is not entirely real coffee, but some people drink it too. As a rule, sugar is already added to the composition, as well as dry milk concentrate and flavorings, which increase the overall nutritional value. For example:
TORABIKA Cappuccino (25g) – 108;
Two sticks of LaFesta Cappuccino (25 g) – 114;
MacCoffee Cappuccino (25 g) – 104 kcal.
The energy value of a 3-in-1 cappuccino drink does not depend on how much water you pour. We made calculations for one bag. If you pour two sachets or sticks into a cup, double the calories.
Accurate information about fats, carbohydrates, etc. should be placed on the bag itself. There is an indicator per 100 grams. If you have a small bag, you can roughly divide the indicated number by 10, if the bag is large - by 4. Small deviations can be considered insignificant.
How many calories are in decaffeinated cappuccino?
All principles apply to the decaf option, if it is made on the basis of ground grains. Decaf is considered to contain 0-1 kilocalories, so you can either ignore this number altogether or add one to the nutritional value of the dairy product and sweetener. Or just be guided by our calculation table; the difference of a couple of points in this case is insignificant and can be ignored.
How to make Starbucks coffee at home
If you want to make one of the espresso-based hot drinks, then you will need an espresso machine. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can make black coffee instead of espresso by brewing it in a Turk or using a French press. The most important thing is to maintain the proportion of black coffee and milk, based on the drink recipe indicated above. You can simply reheat your coffee and get hot coffee with milk, but to make coffee like Starbucks you need to froth it with a cappuccino maker or use a coffee machine.
What's the best coffee at Starbucks?
Among hot drinks with milk, the sweetest brands are the most popular: Caramel Macchiato and Mocha. Lovers of hot black coffee usually choose Americano. Freshly Brewed Coffee is also very popular, unlike Pour Over, although it is a milder analogue of Freshly Brewed Coffee and, accordingly, more pleasant to the taste.
Among espresso-based cold drinks, Caramel Macchiato is again considered the most delicious drink. And people who want to refresh themselves but don't like sweet or café au lait usually ask for an iced Americano.
Among the coffee-based Frappuccinos, it is difficult to choose the most delicious one. But still, the most popular is the Caramel Frappuccino. Chocolate Java Frappuccino is undeservedly one of the most unpopular, although it has a great taste thanks to the chocolate and chocolate chips it contains.
How to make Frappuccino
If you want to make a Frappuccino at home, you will need black coffee or espresso, milk, sugar, ice and syrup to taste. In addition, you can add cookies or chocolate.
Recipe for making a Classic Frappuccino:
At home, you can prepare not only a Classic Frappuccino with various serving options, but also a Caramel or Mocha Frappuccino. To do this, mix the desired syrup with the Classic Frappuccino ingredient mixture before adding ice. If you want to make an Espresso Frappuccino, use espresso instead of black coffee. To preserve the espresso flavor, no whipped cream is added to this drink.
It is not recommended to drink Frappuccino more than once a day. It is better to consume it between meals and not to drink it at night or late in the evening.
Traditional coffee drinks: recipes
In addition to espresso-based drinks, Starbucks coffee shops offer three types of black coffee: Pure Over, Freshly Brewed Coffee and French Press.
Pur Over
This type of coffee drink is not easy to prepare: boiling water is poured through a paper filter with ground coffee for 5-10 minutes. Sometimes it is simply called “filter coffee.”
Freshly brewed coffee
At every Starbucks coffee shop you can ask for freshly brewed black coffee. It automatically pours through a metal filter every hour or two. You can ask to add regular milk to it, and it will be absolutely free.
French press
The classic look of black coffee in a French press. Brewed from coarsely ground coffee of any roast. Volume – 925 ml.
Frappuccino - coffee-based cold drinks
The menu of cold drinks at Starbucks is not inferior in variety to the hot bar: cold variations of Americano, Cappuccino, Latte, Mocha and Latte/Caramel Macchiato, as well as ice-based drinks - Frappuccino, which are so loved by regular guests for their original taste and pleasant appearance . All of them, except Espresso Frappuccino, are prepared on the basis of specially prepared coffee syrup. The volumes of cold drinks do not differ from the volumes of hot drinks.
Classic Frappuccino
The most standard option: ice, milk and coffee syrup, mixed in a mixer.
Caramel Frappuccino
Take the Classic Frappuccino and add caramel syrup and whipped cream. And it turns out one of the most popular cold drinks at Starbucks - the Caramel Frappuccino.
Mocha Frappuccino
Instead of caramel syrup, chocolate is added to it, it is also decorated with whipped cream and contains coffee.
Chocolate Java Frappuccino
Coffee drink with chocolate, whipped cream and chocolate chips. Not the most popular, but very tasty.
Espresso Frappuccino
The same Frappuccino that is prepared not with coffee syrup, but with espresso. It is not decorated with whipped cream to preserve the taste of coffee.
