About Double shot cappuccino
A Double Shot Cappuccino is a rich espresso-based beverage that originated in Italy. It combines two espresso shots with equal parts steamed milk and milk foam, offering a bold and creamy coffee flavor balanced with the smoothness of dairy. This drink is a staple in Italian cuisines and has gained global popularity. Nutritionally, a standard Double Shot Cappuccino made with whole milk contains approximately 120 calories, 6 grams of protein, 6 grams of fat, and a moderate dose of caffeine (about 150-200 mg). It also offers small amounts of calcium, vitamin D (when fortified), and riboflavin (vitamin B2) from the milk.
Health Benefits
- Provides a natural source of caffeine, which can enhance focus and alertness by stimulating the central nervous system.

Common Questions About Double shot cappuccino Nutrition
How many calories and protein are in a double shot cappuccino?
A double shot cappuccino typically contains around 60-100 calories, depending on the milk used. It provides about 3-5 grams of protein in a standard serving made with 2 ounces of espresso and steamed milk. Non-dairy options may have slightly less protein.
Is a double shot cappuccino suitable for a keto diet?
Yes, a double shot cappuccino can be keto-friendly if made with unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, or heavy cream and without added sugar. Regular cow’s milk contains more carbs, so it may not be ideal for strict keto diets.
What are the health benefits or concerns of drinking a double shot cappuccino?
A double shot cappuccino offers antioxidants from coffee and a small protein boost from milk, which can support energy and focus. However, excessive caffeine consumption may lead to jitteriness or insomnia, especially for sensitive individuals. One serving contains approximately 150-200 mg of caffeine.
What is the recommended serving size for a double shot cappuccino?
A standard serving size for a double shot cappuccino is 6-8 ounces, including 2 ounces of espresso and 4-6 ounces of steamed milk. This balance ensures the flavor is not overpowering while maintaining nutritional moderation.
How does a double shot cappuccino compare to a latte?
A double shot cappuccino contains less milk and has a stronger coffee flavor compared to a latte, which typically has a 1:3 ratio of espresso to milk. Cappuccinos are lower in calories and less creamy than lattes, making them a good choice for those seeking a bold coffee experience.
