Filter coffee with whole milk provides the full benefits of both beverages: coffee's chlorogenic acid polyphenols and caffeine alongside dairy milk's calcium, iodine, protein, riboflavin, and vitamin B12. A typical 30ml splash of whole milk adds around 19 kcal and 35mg calcium. Whole milk adds a richer mouthfeel than semi-skimmed.
The amount of milk determines the nutritional contribution; a large flat white with 150ml whole milk provides around 175mg calcium. Both beverages contribute positively to health when consumed in moderate amounts.
