About Double cappuccino
A double cappuccino is a coffee-based beverage originating from Italy, known for its creamy texture and strong flavor. It consists of a double shot of espresso poured into a cup and topped with equal parts steamed milk and milk foam, creating a harmonious combination of bold coffee and creamy froth. In terms of nutrition, a double cappuccino made with whole milk contains approximately 120-140 calories, 5 grams of fat, 9 grams of protein, and 10 grams of carbohydrates. It also provides small amounts of calcium and potassium, along with about 150-200 milligrams of caffeine, depending on the type of coffee bean used.
Health Benefits
- Provides a natural energy boost due to caffeine, which can enhance mental alertness and physical performance.
- Contains calcium from milk, which supports bone health and muscle function, with around 15% of the daily recommended intake in a single serving.
- Offers a source of antioxidants from coffee, such as chlorogenic acid, which may help reduce inflammation and support cardiovascular health.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Best consumed fresh to enjoy the optimal flavor and texture of the milk foam. If preparing at home, refrigerate milk below 40°F and use freshly brewed espresso for the best results.
Common Questions About Double cappuccino Nutrition
How many calories and protein are in a double cappuccino?
A double cappuccino typically contains around 60-90 calories depending on milk choice and has approximately 3-4 grams of protein per serving if made with regular milk. Using plant-based milk or skim milk may slightly alter these values.
Can I drink a double cappuccino on a keto diet?
Yes, you can drink a double cappuccino on a keto diet if you use unsweetened almond, coconut, or heavy cream as the milk base, avoiding sugar or sweetened milk. Traditional cow's milk can add more carbs, so it is less keto-friendly.
Are there any health benefits or concerns with drinking a double cappuccino?
Double cappuccinos provide antioxidants from coffee and a protein boost if dairy or fortified plant-based milk is used. However, excessive consumption of caffeine may lead to jitters, restlessness, or sleep disturbances for some individuals.
What is the recommended portion size for a double cappuccino?
A standard double cappuccino is typically served in a 6-8 oz cup. For balanced caffeine intake, it's recommended to limit your coffee beverages to 1-2 servings per day, depending on your tolerance and sensitivity.
How does a double cappuccino compare to a latte or regular coffee in terms of nutrition?
A double cappuccino contains less milk compared to a latte, making it slightly lower in calories and fat. Unlike regular black coffee, it provides additional protein and creaminess due to the steamed milk, which varies with your choice of milk.
