Coffee, macchiato calories: 14 per 1 espresso cup (60 g)

This exact USDA record reports 14 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 14 calories for 1 espresso cup at 60 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 23 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 0.7 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 13 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, representing 67% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 source-input rows in all. 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 7–14 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 2710382: “Coffee, macchiato.” 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 2710382, 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.

02 · Fixed-weight context

Where 100 grams sits inside Coffee

The comparison set contains 106 exact records in the Coffee USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2710382’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 2710382’s 60 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Magnesium; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. 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, macchiato,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2710383 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 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 7 kcal to 14 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2710383

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 4.2 g less carbohydrate than “Coffee, macchiato, sweetened.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Beverages, coffee, brewed, espresso, restaurant-prepared

    The source formulation has 2 input rows; Beverages, coffee, brewed, espresso, restaurant-prepared supplies 67% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

05 · Exact-record choice

Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name

Keep this record when “macchiato” fits. Inspect FDC 2710383 when “macchiato; sweetened” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2710382 to 2 source inputs totaling 92.5 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Coffee, macchiato” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

2 listed components

The largest listed inputs by source weight are Beverages, coffee, brewed, espresso, restaurant-prepared, Milk, NFS. The order and weights below come from the standardized USDA formulation, so they offer context for this exact database entry.

92.5 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

Use this formulation to choose a closer record—not to reverse-engineer a recipe. If your meal adds, removes, or substantially changes one of these components, another source entry or a photo-based estimate may fit better.

USDA shorthand in this evidence
  • NFS means “not further specified.” The record intentionally leaves the exact subtype, size, or preparation unresolved.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2710382, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Coffee” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.

Plain-English read

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 17 less calories and 4.2 g less carbohydrate than “Coffee, macchiato, sweetened.”

Only the comparison record lists Sugars, granulated. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.

2 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; Milk, NFS.

Listed only in the comparison: Sugars, granulated.

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 62 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 espresso cup (62 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2710382 with FDC 2710383 at equal mass; use their 60 g and 62 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2710382 versus FDC 2710383 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, macchiato,” resolve drink size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 2710382 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 23 kcal per 100 g becomes 14 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: 2710382

FNDDS food code: 92101810

The scaling for FDC 2710382 can be exact while the match to “Coffee, macchiato” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 60 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
