McDonald’s, being one of the leading fast-food chains in the world, has a wide range of food and beverages, including coffee. Their coffee is so popular among loyal customers that they have a separate McCafe menu.
McDonald’s has around 29 different varieties of coffee flavors, from the basic premium roast coffee, which is their best, to various flavors like caramel, hazelnut, and french vanilla.
Mickey D’s is known for its affordable coffee items. You can get lattes, mochas, and much more. You can enjoy an iced or hot coffee with your favorite flavor.
Most people order coffee during breakfast time, but they often dodge between which one to order with their meal. Now, if you are confused about what to order, let me simplify it.
Today we will list all the McDonald’s coffee items from the McCafe menu and rank them from top to bottom. We will also talk about the nutrient contents in the coffee drinks so that you can make an informed decision while ordering next time.
What's In The Post
How Many Coffee Drinks Does McDonald’s Have?
McDonald’s has lined up 29 coffee drinks for you on the McCafe menu, starting from $2.01 for a medium cup of coffee to $5.29. Below I have listed McDonald’s McCafe menu and rated them on the basis of their taste and flavors.
Ranking Every Coffee Drink From McDonald’s
1. McCafe Premium Roast Coffee – $2.29
Unpopular opinion: The simplest McCoffee is the McBest. McDonald’s premium roast coffee is one of the best drinks from the McCafe menu (I will fight you on this).
It has a very smooth and soulful flavor with no sugar making it the most tasteful and perhaps the healthiest option on the McCafe menu in just $2.29.
Made from 100% Arabica bean roast, this coffee gives you the required flavors and the much-needed caffeine kick. Its smooth yet sharp taste will definitely give your day a great start.
2. McCafe Americano Coffee – $3.47
If you are someone who likes business as the side to their coffee, you should try McDonald’s Americano coffee. Americano, as we know, is nothing but espresso diluted with some piping-hot water.
It contains the same smooth espresso flavor, but the water balances the strong notes. I prefer having McDonald’s Americano on days that require a boost of energy. The only con to this drink choice is that not all outlets may serve it.
So walk into your nearest McDonald’s with your fingers crossed. Get a medium cup of McCafe Americano for $3.47.
3. McCafe Latte – $4.19
If you are a “frothy, milky coffee” person, I bet you’d love the McCafe latte. It is a perfect concoction prepared with espresso and just the right amount of frothy milk. You can buy this from McDonald’s for $4.19.
The drink is not that sweet even though the milk contains some sugar. This can make your latte an elegant drink. This coffee is customizable, and personally, it is how I like to start my day.
4. McCafe Iced Coffee – $3.49
I think I just mentioned that things are better when kept simple, and this is exactly what this drink is, simple and better.
Let me go ahead and assume everybody loves the iced version of a creamy coffee on a hot day. This iced coffee is a perfect blend of arabica beans, cream, and of course, the not-so-secret ingredient, ice.
The only downside, I feel, to this drink is that as the ice melts, it subsequently dilutes the taste. So, maybe sip faster? Anywho, It’s perfect in taste and will definitely make your day for $3.49.
5. Iced French Vanilla Coffee – $3.49
If iced coffee is too simple for you, then go ahead and try adding french vanilla syrup for just $3.49. Thank me later!
When the strong flavour of premium roast coffee meets the sweet and elegant french vanilla syrup, an epic fusion is born; ice adds up the charm, making this a cool and refreshing drink.
You can also check the caffeine level in iced coffee to make sure you get the right start of the day.I am a mad vanilla lover, so I prefer this version whenever I need to pamper myself.
6. Iced French Vanilla latte – $3.99
Take it from a coffee lover, a latte infused with French vanilla can calm down even Satan. Creamy and frothy, this iced version of the french vanilla latte is a must-try.
Chilled espresso combines a generous amount of french vanilla syrup and lots of ice. This drink is so light that you may want to get another one but don’t get carried away.
Try this for only $3.99 on a hot day and calm your inner Satan.
7. Iced Caramel Coffee – $3.49
Don’t kill me for mentioning iced caramel coffee so early because it is damn good.
Caramel and milk – a perfect love story you will want to binge on.
But wait, if you love strong coffee notes, this drink might disappoint you a bit. McDonald’s serves a medium cup of iced caramel coffee for $3.49.
Also, did you know that Iced Caramel Coffee is one of the original menu items on McCafe? Be rebellious and simply ignore the fact it is very sweet.
8. Iced Latte – $3.49
I know the last four drinks have been about iced coffee, but don’t you think the iced version has more flavor than the hot one?
The same is the case with an iced latte – cool yet warm. It is the best latte when it comes to the perfect blend of chilled espresso with milk and ice. Anyone who loves espresso should definitely try an iced latte.
Not much sugar and has the perfect coffee flavor for a chilling sensation on a hot day in just $3.49 only.
9. Caramel Latte – $4.17
Caramel in a hot latte? We may get deja vu from when we used to stir buttery caramel in hot milk, but this time it has an adult touch – espresso.
Caramel latte tastes out of the world, and even a small cup of this will fill your soul with the richness of melted caramel. Try this hot cup with McDonald’s savory menu items and enjoy the distinct flavors simultaneously. You can get caramel latte from McDonald’s for $4.17.
10. Iced Caramel Latte – $4.69

Make things better with ice, lots of ice. Iced caramel macchiato unlocks new levels in terms of taste and flavors.

Heavenly, delicious, and warm for your soul. Go for extra whipped cream. McDonald’s hot chocolate will cost you $3.43.
17. Mocha – $3.79
Why are simple drinks underrated? I mean, regular mocha is so delicious and tempting that it feels like a warm hug in the form of coffee.
Similar to a latte but with a chocolate base, it is everything you need during a break. It has an earthy aroma and creamy texture, making it a warmful drink. It will only cost you $3.79 so why don’t you try it once?
18. Iced Mocha – $3.43
Obviously, after mocha, the next best thing is the Iced mocha. The addition of ice in the regular mocha makes it more diluted. Cool off the hot breeze with a real chocolate iced mocha. Get yourself a chilling iced mocha for $3.43.

However, try this only if you are a mad fan of anything with hazelnuts or stay away.

27. Hazelnut latte – $4.19
Hazelnut in a latte – too much, even for a sweet tooth. This latte will taste nothing but sugary. I mean, you can hardly taste coffee. Anywho, if you still like this, who am I to judge? Go for it, sugar. This sugar bomb will cost you $4.19.
