Let’s be honest: if you’re anything like us, you’ve probably wondered—between comic book binges and coffee refills—just how many calories are in that magical cup of black coffee. Whether you’re a casual sipper or you’re on your fifth mug (no judgment, we’re right there with you), knowing what’s in your cup matters.

So, How Many Calories Are in Black Coffee?
Here’s the good news for all our fellow caffeine crusaders:A standard 8-ounce cup of black coffee has just about 2 calories.Yep, you read that right—two! Those tiny calories come from trace amounts of protein and fat in the coffee beans themselves. That means black coffee is one of the lowest-calorie drinks you can enjoy (unless, of course, you’re adding mountains of sugar, cream, or that whipped topping that looks like it belongs in a dessert contest).
If you want to keep your coffee as light as a feather, just enjoy it black. It’s pure, simple, and lets the real flavor of the bean shine through.
Is Black Coffee Actually Good For You?
Absolutely! Black coffee isn’t just low in calories—it’s packed with antioxidants, which help fight free radicals and support your overall health. Studies have shown that regular coffee drinking (in moderation, of course) is linked to a reduced risk of several chronic diseases, including Type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s, and even some cancers. Plus, let’s not forget that glorious caffeine boost for your focus and alertness.
And if you’re into intermittent fasting, black coffee is your friend. Since it’s so low in calories, it won’t break your fast.
Why Direct Trade Matters (Our Comics On Coffee Way)
Now, here’s where we get a little personal. At Comics On Coffee, we do things a bit differently. Instead of just picking any beans off the shelf, we’re all about direct trade—which means Tony (yep, our very own co-founder and logistics superhero) handles every step from farm to cup.
Tony works directly with our coffee farmers, building real relationships and ensuring everyone is treated fairly and paid well for their hard work. This hands-on approach means we know exactly where our beans come from, how they’re grown, and that every batch is as fresh and flavorful as possible. No middlemen, no mystery—just honest coffee from people we trust.
And because we’re a true mom-and-pop shop, every bag you buy supports our small business and the amazing farmers we partner with. We’re proud to use only all-natural flavors, and we roast everything ourselves in small batches—so your coffee is always fresh, never stale or mass-produced.
In a Nutshell…
Black coffee = about 2 calories per cup.
No added sugar or cream = a healthy, low-calorie drink.
Packed with antioxidants and natural energy.
Direct trade = better for farmers, fresher for you, and a whole lot more heart in every cup.
So next time you’re sipping on your Comics On Coffee brew, know you’re not just treating yourself—you’re supporting a chain of real people, from the farm all the way to your favorite mug.
