✦ Coffee polyphenols retained
✦ Cream adds fat calories
✦ Less calcium than milk
✦ Lower protein than milk-based coffee
Filter coffee with single cream is a richer preparation adding fat and some calcium from cream, but significantly less calcium, protein, and iodine than milk-based coffee. Single cream is about 18% fat; a tablespoon adds around 30 kcal. It is a flavour choice rather than a nutritional upgrade, and the polyphenols from coffee remain the nutritional highlight.

Preparation note
Use single cream sparingly if monitoring calorie intake; it contributes saturated fat without the calcium and iodine benefit of milk. Enjoy for flavour, not nutrition.
