Costa Hot Drinks: calories, sugar and caffeine for every drink

The 60 items in this section range from 0 kcal for the Mint Infusion up to 456 kcal for the Maple Hazel Hot Chocolate (Medium). The highest free sugar is the Maple Hazel Hot Chocolate (Medium) at 37.8g, which is 126% of an adult's daily limit of 30g.

Boone separates free sugars from the sugars that occur naturally in milk and whole fruit, which NHS daily limits do not count, and measures every figure against the guideline for a specific age and sex rather than an adult average. Set the size and the milk in the calculator to see how any combination changes.

What nutrition information is shown for Costa Hot Drinks?+

Each Costa Hot Drinks item is listed with its calories, sugar, salt, saturated fat and protein, and how much of the daily guideline it uses. Open any item for the full breakdown and allergens.

How does the Costa Hot Drinks nutrition calculator work?+

Open any Costa Hot Drinks item and set an age and sex. The calculator shows its calories, sugar, salt, saturated fat and protein as a share of that person's daily guidelines, and you can adjust the portion size.

Can I add sides and drinks to see a full Costa order?+

Yes. Start with any Costa Hot Drinks item, then add food and drinks from across the Costa menu. The calculator totals the order and shows how it fits the daily guidelines for your age and sex.

How are the daily guidelines worked out for my age and sex?+

Boone uses UK government and NHS guidelines, which differ by age and sex. Saturated fat is limited to 20g a day for women and 30g for men, and free sugar to 30g for adults but 19g for children aged 4 to 6. Choosing an age and sex recalculates every figure against the right limits.

Why does the calculator show different figures for children?+

Children have lower limits for free sugar and salt and need less energy, so the same item uses a bigger share of their day. A child aged 4 to 6 has a limit of 19g of free sugar and 3g of salt, compared with 30g and 6g for an adult.

Where does Boone's Costa nutrition information come from?+

Boone uses the nutrition and allergen information Costa publishes for its UK menu, then calculates free sugar and how much of the daily guidelines each item uses for your age and sex.

Does the Costa Hot Drinks nutrition information include allergens?+

Yes. Each Costa Hot Drinks item page lists the allergens Costa declares, including where cross-contamination cannot be ruled out. If you have a severe allergy, always check with the store before ordering.

Why is the sugar figure different from Costa's own nutrition information?+

Costa publishes total sugar, which includes the sugar naturally found in milk and whole fruit. NHS limits apply only to free sugars, so Boone separates the two and measures free sugar against your daily limit. That is why an item can use less of your limit than its total sugar suggests.
