Coffee, espresso, decaf calories: 5 per 1 espresso cup (60 g)
This exact USDA record reports 5 calories for 1 espresso cup (60 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 5 calories for 1 espresso cup at 60 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 9 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 0.1 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 8 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beverages, coffee, brewed, espresso, restaurant-prepared, decaffeinated, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 espresso cup at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 3–5 calories across the listed portions. That is a set of scaled examples—not a confidence interval, a recommendation, or a claim about the full universe of recipes.
Calculated from the smallest and largest usable household measures listed by USDA for this exact FNDDS record; not a confidence interval.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2710379: “Coffee, espresso, decaffeinated.” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.
01 · Portion arithmetic
Three weights, one fixed composition
For FDC 2710379, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 fl oz” through “1 espresso cup (2 fl oz)” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 fl ozUSDA-listed household measure | 30 g | 3 kcal | 0 g | 0 g | 4 mg |
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 45 g | 4 kcal | 0 g | 0 g | 6 mg |
| 1 espresso cup (2 fl oz)USDA-listed household measure | 60 g | 5 kcal | 0.1 g | 0 g | 8 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Coffee
The comparison set contains 106 exact records in the Coffee USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2710379’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2710379’s 60 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Magnesium; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Sodium. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Coffee, espresso, decaffeinated,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2710392 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 fl oz to 1 espresso cup (2 fl oz)
USDA assigns those measures 30 g and 60 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 3 kcal to 5 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2710392
At an equal 100 g, this record has 2.7 g less protein than “Coffee, Latte, decaffeinated.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Beverages, coffee, brewed, espresso, restaurant-prepared, decaffeinated
USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “espresso; decaffeinated” fits. Inspect FDC 2710392 when “Latte; decaffeinated” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record
Source formulation behind this USDA record
USDA links FDC 2710379 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Coffee, espresso, decaffeinated” inspectable beside similarly named records.
How to read this
A single-source formulation
Beverages, coffee, brewed, espresso, restaurant-prepared, decaffeinated is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 34 less calories, 2.7 g less protein, and 2.7 g less carbohydrate than “Coffee, Latte, decaffeinated.”
Only the comparison record lists Milk, reduced fat, fluid, 2% milkfat, with added vitamin A and vitamin D. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
4 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.
Formulation evidence
The listed formulations differ
The formulation rows differ, but the source data do not isolate which component caused any nutrient difference. Input weights describe the standardized formulation—not final plated proportions.
Shared listed inputs: Beverages, coffee, brewed, espresso, restaurant-prepared, decaffeinated.
Listed only in the comparison: Milk, reduced fat, fluid, 2% milkfat, with added vitamin A and vitamin D.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 60 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 espresso cup (60 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 360 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 small (360 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2710379 with FDC 2710392 at equal mass; use their 60 g and 360 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2710379 versus FDC 2710392 is a comparison of standardized source records—not a measurement of your meal, an overall food-quality rank, or proof that one input caused a difference.

Uncertainty, made actionable
What can change this estimate?
This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with drink size, recipe or formulation, milk or cream, sweeteners and add-ins.
For “Coffee, espresso, decaffeinated,” resolve drink size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
drink size
Resolve drink size only when the meal or its source gives you evidence. If it is unknown, leave the uncertainty visible instead of choosing the most convenient variant.
- 02
recipe or formulation
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 03
milk or cream
Identify the liquid base and fat level when you can. Dairy, plant-based beverages, cream, and water are different record choices—not interchangeable volume adjustments.
- 04
sweeteners and add-ins
Use a label or known recipe when available, because sweetness does not reveal dose. Keep syrups, sugars, and concentrated add-ins separate when the base record does not name them.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2710379 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 9 kcal per 100 g becomes 5 kcal at 60 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.
About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” The separately listed 1 espresso cup has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2710379
FNDDS food code: 92101630
The scaling for FDC 2710379 can be exact while the match to “Coffee, espresso, decaffeinated” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 60 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
