Early reports from New York indicated that it is a measure that works in the short-term, but only to encourage customers to buy more of the less calorific items. New York passed a law in 2009 forcing all chain restaurants with 15 or more outlets (including the coffee chain's New York establishments) to print the calorie count of each of their individual offerings in a font equal or larger in size to the name of the item, with a hefty $2,000 fine for any chain found to not be complying. Starbucks is hardly in illustrious company in printing their calorie counts on their menus, either. The high calorie counts of chain coffee houses are due to the huge servings on offer and the slew of flavourings and additions available to those who want them. ![]() A cup of black coffee of any kind contains just 2 calories, and the higher the quality of the coffee the fewer condiments it will need.

The problems arise from the addictive nature of caffeine and the hard sell of all those flavourings and extras. Even a large latte made with skimmed milk won't exceed 200 calories - around the same as a bowl of plain porridge. The fact is, marking calorie counts on the menu is, to put it indelicately, like pissing into a wind of avidity and addiction.Ĭoffee and hot drinks themselves, without embellishment or addition and in moderation, are not bad for you. You don't have to be a nutritionist to guess the most calorific hot drinks on offer are the ones mixed with sugary flavourings and topped with whipped cream. Nor are the figures themselves surprising. The issue, of course, isn't a lack of data with a bit of judicious Googling this information is readily available. ![]()
