I really enjoy my coffee. I most enjoy a good Indonesian coffee. You know, the coarsely ground variety where the sediment sits in the bottom of your cup. And, if you were to leave that sediment there a few days it would harden into something comparable to cement. My particular favourite coffee growing areas just happen to be two places that want to be free from the clutches of Indonesia; one has done so, Timor Leste. The other, Aceh, seems destined not to break free. Those are issues for another post.
So, with coffee in mind, I thought I would share a
link that I came across on Yahoo about the six worst cups of coffee you could drink if you were thinking calories.
My favourite is the Cold Stone Creamery Lotta Caramel Latte, Gotta Have It Size. This cup will provide you with 1,790 calories, 99 g fat (62 g saturated, 2.5 g trans), and 175 g sugar. Or in more manageable terms, the equivalent of a day's worth of calories, the equivalent of 62 strips of bacon, more than your daily permissible intake of trans fat, and the equivalent of 44 spoonfuls of sugar.
To be honest, I don't think I have eaten 62 strips of bacon in the last five years, perhaps even longer than that.
I could not imagine sitting down and eating 62 strips of bacon in one sitting. Although, I could imagine sitting down to a single cup of coffee.
Enjoy!

Hi Rob,
That much calories in a cup of coffee? WOW! I never imagine that.
@ Harry...
It is a pretty hefty amount of calories. Sort of takes the idea of living on coffee alone to the extreme, doesn't it?
