Calories and Nutrition in a Dunkin’ Iced Macchiato
A macchiato is made with brewed espresso coffee and either steamed milk or milk foam. This drink is essentially the same as a latte except for the ratio of espresso to milk. To be clear, a macchiato has more coffee than milk.
Some consumers prefer a macchiato over a straight shot of espresso because the added warm milk and foam reduces the bitterness of the coffee without being an overwhelming amount of dairy (or alternative milk product).
Macchiato drinks have a higher ratio of coffee to milk than similar drinks such as a latte or cappuccino. The latter drinks both have a great deal more milk (or foam) than coffee.
There are 120 calories in a medium Dunkin’ Iced Macchiato made with whole milk and excluding any additional flavoring or sweetener. Read this article for a complete overview of the nutrition facts, calories, and ingredients in an iced macchiato.
Nutrition Facts
Calories
Depending on the type of milk product select, the total calories in a medium sized macchiato at Dunkin’ will range from 40 to 120.
Substituting skim milk or a plant-based milk in place of whole milk is a way to reduce the total calories in your beverage.
For example, total calories drop from 120 to 90 if the drink is made with oat milk. If you choose coconut milk, total calories drop to 40.
- Macchiato made with whole milk: 120 calories
- Macchiato made with oat milk: 90 calories
- Macchiato made with skim milk: 70 calories
- Macchiato made with coconut milk: 40 calories
Flavoring Increases Calories
If you add any of the optional flavors, total calories will increase.
In a medium size Iced Macchiato, adding Caramel Swirl the calories increase by an additional 170 to a total of 290 calories. Those extra calories are derived primarily from an additional 38 grams of carbohydrates.
Each of the flavors, French Vanilla and Mocha Swirl, increase total calories in one medium drink to 280.
Cholesterol
A drink made with whole milk will result in drinking the highest amount of cholesterol. A medium iced macchiato made with whole milk has 20 milligrams of cholesterol. That amount is eliminated if you order a non-diary milk substitute such as coconut milk or oat milk.
Caffeine in Iced Macchiato
There are 284 milligrams of caffeine in a medium sized iced macchiato from Dunkin’. Total caffeine may vary by location due to any variations in brewing methods or differences in how the drink is prepared.
