Hey

I have a meeting at Starbucks tomorrow. It is very much a treat for me as opposed to something that I do on a regular basis.

when I do go to Starbucks, which is maybe 3 or 4 times a month, I normally order a Grande (medium) Americano (black), with a 1 pump of sugar free syrup and a whipped cream topping. This comes to 3 carbs for the Americano, 0 for the syrup and 2 for the topping. For me this replaces a snack so, although high in calories, it is acceptable in carb count.

My question is, why is a medium coffee 2 carbs yet the same amount in an Americano is 3 carbs?

I think it's because they use 2 shots of espresso to make a tall grande...

I had one of those myself earlier but I had heavy cream, not whipped cream in it. So good!

I considered heavy cream, but whipped cream seems to have more volume ha ha!

I think I might order a coffee instead of an Americano then. The house blend is normally quite nice.
