Frequently Asked Questions
Which has more caffeine, a Starbucks or Dunkin Americano?
A Dunkin' Americano has more: about 284 mg at a Medium (14 oz), versus 225 mg for the Starbucks Caffè Americano at a Grande (16 oz). Keep in mind the two chains pour different cup sizes, so this compares each chain's standard serving rather than an identical volume.
Which Americano has the fewest calories?
The Dunkin' Americano is the lightest of the ones we compared, at 10 calories for a Medium (14 oz) — compared with 15 at Starbucks, 10 at Dutch Bros. Calories assume the default milk; switching to nonfat or a plant milk, or skipping any whipped topping, lowers the count at every chain.
Are the sizes the same across chains?
No — each chain uses its own size names and volumes, so the figures above are for each chain's reference serving: Starbucks at a Grande (16 oz), Dunkin' at a Medium (14 oz), Tim Hortons at a Medium (14 oz), Dutch Bros at a Medium (24 oz). Because the cups differ in ounces, compare per-serving totals with that in mind rather than assuming an identical pour.
