Tag: Espresso vs latte

According to nutrition data, a standard double shot of espresso contains a minuscule 4 to 5 calories, derived from trace oils and carbohydrates. This makes a pure, unadulterated double espresso one of the most diet-friendly and lowest-calorie coffee options available.

With only 13 calories in a traditional 2-ounce serving, a true espresso macchiato is one of the lowest-calorie coffee options available. But the answer to whether **is an espresso macchiato healthy?** largely depends on how it's prepared and what's added to it.
