What Is Double Double Coffee?
The Double Double is the most Canadian of coffee orders — two cream and two sugar added to a Tim Hortons drip coffee. The name originates from Tim Hortons coffee culture, where 'double' refers to two portions of each additive. The phrase 'Double Double' is so deeply embedded in Canadian vernacular that it was added to the Canadian Oxford Dictionary in 2004, making it one of the few food-ordering phrases to receive official dictionary recognition. Tim Hortons — founded in Hamilton, Ontario in 1964 — is the largest fast-food chain in Canada by sales volume and serves over 5 million customers daily. The Double Double represents far more than a coffee order to most Canadians — it is a cultural shorthand, a comfort ritual, and a social lubricant used at construction sites, hockey arenas, curling rinks, and office break rooms across the country.
Double Double Coffee Calories Guide
A medium Double Double (414ml, about 425g) contains approximately 213 calories — roughly 88 of them from the 22g of carbohydrate the two sugar portions contribute, and roughly 126 from the 14g of fat in the two portions of 18% cream. The coffee itself has approximately 5 calories. Compared to blended coffee drinks and flavoured lattes, the Double Double is still a mid-range coffee choice rather than a light one.
Double Double Coffee for Weight Loss
A medium Double Double adds approximately 213 calories to your daily total — manageable if this is your only sweetened coffee of the day, but worth tracking. For weight management, switching to one cream and one sugar (a 'Single Single' or 'One and one') roughly halves the added calories, to approximately 111 calories per medium cup. Switching to black coffee removes almost all of them while keeping the caffeine benefit.
Double Double Coffee for Muscle Gain
The Double Double has no meaningful role in muscle building — it provides negligible protein and consists primarily of sugar and cream. Caffeine, however, is a proven performance enhancer that can increase strength output and endurance during workouts. Using black coffee or an Americano pre-workout provides the caffeine benefit without the added sugar calories.
Smart Comparison
Double Double vs Starbucks Latte: A Starbucks medium latte contains approximately 190 calories — slightly less than a medium Double Double at ~213. A flavoured latte (like pumpkin spice, vanilla, or caramel) can reach 300–400 calories, so the Double Double sits between a plain latte and a flavoured one rather than below both. Double Double vs Tim Hortons Dark Roast Black Coffee: Black coffee at Tim Hortons contains approximately 5 calories per cup — just over 200 fewer calories than a medium Double Double.
Portion Control Advice
Go for a medium rather than extra-large — an XL (~364 kcal) carries about 70% more than a medium (~213 kcal) for essentially the same coffee experience. Try switching to one cream and one sugar for two weeks — most people adapt to the lighter sweetness quickly. Using milk instead of cream saves approximately 60 kcal per medium cup.
Common Mistakes
Ordering multiple Double Doubles throughout the day without tracking cumulative calorie intake — three medium double doubles is roughly 639 extra calories from drinks alone. Choosing an XL Double Double as the default size — extra large servings add significantly more calories. Adding Tim Hortons muffins or Timbits to a Double Double coffee as a habitual pairing.
