About Double Double Coffee
The Double Double is more than a coffee order — it's a Canadian cultural icon. Two creams and two sugars in Tim Hortons coffee has become so synonymous with Canadian identity that the term has entered everyday vocabulary across the country. In 2020, the Double Double was the most popular coffee order at Tim Hortons locations nationwide.
Nutritionally, the Double Double is significantly higher in calories than black coffee. A Small starts at 130 calories, while an X Large reaches 300 calories — roughly equivalent to a small meal. The fat content (8-18g) comes primarily from the two servings of cream, which also contributes to the high saturated fat content (4.5-11g). The sugar content (16-34g) approaches or exceeds the WHO's daily limit for added sugars in larger sizes.
Despite the higher nutritional load, the Double Double remains beloved for its perfectly balanced sweetness and creaminess. For those counting calories, consider these strategies: switch to 2% milk instead of cream (saving ~60 cal), use sugar substitute (saving 16-34g sugar), or try a "1 cream, 1 sugar" Regular (cutting calories roughly in half).
The caffeine content is identical to any Tim Hortons brewed coffee of the same size — the cream and sugar don't affect caffeine levels. A Medium Double Double delivers 205mg of caffeine, providing the same energy boost as a black coffee.
