Dunkin' Brewed Coffee Calories and Caffeine

There are 5 calories in a medium Dunkin’ Coffee. Choose from a variety of dairy and flavor options at Dunkin’, including oat milk, coconut milk, skim milk, or whole milk.

Adding dairy increases the number of calories and slightly reduces the total caffeine as the amount of milk replaces the amount of coffee in the cup.

Amount of Caffeine in Dunkin’ Coffee

There are approximately 210 milligrams of caffeine in a medium size Dunkin’ Coffee drink.

Here is the amount of caffeine in a Dunkin’ Coffee without any flavoring or dairy, listed by size:

A Small Dunkin’ coffee has 180 milligrams caffeine
A Medium Dunkin’ coffee has 210 milligrams caffeine
A Large Dunkin’ coffee has 270 milligrams caffeine
An XL Dunkin’ coffee has 330 milligrams caffeine

Higher Caffeine in Black Coffee

The amount of caffeine is slightly higher when you enjoy your coffee black, without any dairy, oat milk, or other add-ins.

Why? Because flavor syrup and/or dairy takes up space in the cup. Without any of those add-ins, you have more coffee in your cup and thus more caffeine.

Review Beverage Reports

Cup of coffee from Dunkin' with text '5+ calories'.

Dipotassium phosphate, an inorganic water-soluble potassium salt, is created through a reaction of potassium hydroxide with phosphoric acid. Food grade phosphoric acid is derived from phosphate rocks.

Dipotassium phosphate is used in food production as a preservative, flavor enhancer, and as a source of phosphorus and potassium.

It is commonly used in imitation dairy creamers, powder beverage mixes, and mineral supplements. Dipotassium phosphate is also used in other industries, including cosmetics and agriculture fertilizers.

Dunkin’ Donuts’ oatmilk and coconut milk contain dipotassium phosphate.

Allergens

Depending on the flavor or type (e.g., cappuccino, latte, etc.) of coffee drink ordered, the beverage may contain dairy, nuts, or other allergens.

Coffee drinks, flavoring syrups, and sweeteners are prepared in common facilities and kitchen areas. There is no guarantee of food safety due to the risk of cross-contamination with other foods that contain allergens.
