1 cup (medium) of Coffee with low milk (180 g) has 43 calories. That works out to 24 calories per 100 g. It contains 4.5 g of carbs, 2 g of protein, 1.4 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its 0.2 mg of B2 covers 12% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 35 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Coffee with low milk is brewed or instant coffee mixed with a small amount of milk. It is a way of serving coffee rather than a single regional recipe: the coffee may be made in a filter machine, with instant granules, or by another local method, then softened with a splash of milk.
The result keeps coffee’s roasted, slightly bitter flavour, with a smoother, creamier finish than black coffee. It is commonly enjoyed at breakfast or as a daytime cup, whether at home or from a café; the exact coffee style varies around the world. It contains caffeine and is generally a light drink when only a little milk is added. Pair it with toast or a small biscuit, and leave out added sugar if you prefer to keep it lighter.

Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Yes, coffee with low milk breaks a strict fast because milk provides energy and nutrients. Black coffee is usually allowed during fasting windows, but follow the rules of your particular fasting plan.
No, adding a little milk does not remove or meaningfully reduce the caffeine in the brewed coffee. The caffeine amount mainly depends on the coffee beans, serving size, and brewing method.
It can fit into a weight-loss plan, especially without added sugar or syrups, but it does not cause weight loss by itself. Sweeteners and rich add-ins can make the drink more energy-dense.
Yes, coffee with low milk can still stain teeth because the coffee’s dark pigments remain even when milk is added. Rinsing your mouth with water afterward can help clear residue, though it does not replace brushing.
A little milk can soften coffee’s sharp taste, but it does not reliably prevent coffee-related heartburn or reflux. If coffee bothers your stomach, try having it with food or choosing a less irritating brew.
Brew your coffee using your preferred method, then stir in a small splash of milk. Add the milk after brewing so you can control the amount and keep the drink’s coffee flavor prominent.
No, a normal serving of coffee with low milk does not usually dehydrate you. It contributes fluid, although caffeine may increase urination temporarily in people who are not used to it.
It can be consumed during pregnancy, but its caffeine counts toward your daily total from all sources. Because caffeine content varies with the brew, ask your doctor or dietitian what limit is appropriate for you.
Yes, you can reheat coffee with low milk, but warm it gently and avoid boiling it. Reheating can make the coffee taste more bitter and the milk less pleasant, so it is best freshly prepared.
Coffee with low milk made with regular dairy milk contains lactose and may cause symptoms such as bloating. Using lactose-free milk is a practical alternative, while plant-based milk changes the drink’s ingredients and taste.
