Tag: Small cappuccino

According to the World Barista Championship rules, a traditional 5-6 ounce cappuccino contains one single shot of espresso. This classic Italian beverage is a balanced mix of one-third espresso, one-third steamed milk, and one-third foam, a ratio that is key to its distinctive texture and flavor profile.

The average calorie count for a small cappuccino can vary significantly, ranging from approximately 50 to 120 calories depending on the type of milk used. A standard cappuccino made with whole milk falls near the higher end of this range, while a skim milk version is considerably lower. The calorie content is primarily determined by the milk, as black espresso has a negligible number of calories.

The calorie count for a small caramel cappuccino can vary significantly, ranging from 160 to over 210 calories depending on the retailer and ingredients used. A plain black coffee has virtually zero calories, so the difference comes primarily from the milk and sugary caramel syrup.
