It depends. Coffee made from flavored beans, such as chocolate macadamia nut (my favorite), is virtually calorie and fat free. Flavored beans are simply regular coffee beans that have been infused with compounds that offer more taste without any added calories. That said, powdered instant flavored coffees are made with added sugar and fat. Each six-ounce serving contains about 100 calories and three grams of fat. Sugar-free versions save on calories, but they still have fat. And those flavored syrups used by coffee shops also add calories.
