Choose it for a sweet, warm and foam-forward coffee.

Choose it when price matters more than sweetness.
Medium Iced Coffee
$2.19 reference • 190 Cal

Customising the milk, syrup, espresso or cup size changes the nutrition. Use the current product panel for the configured drink rather than treating these values as universal.
How Much Caffeine Is in the Caramel Cappuccino?
Direct answer: the drink contains caffeine because it is made with espresso. McDonald’s says it does not publish caffeine levels because caffeine disclosure is not required by the FDA.
Children, pregnant users, people with medical conditions and caffeine-sensitive customers should not rely on an unverified internet estimate. Ask the restaurant about the preparation or choose a product whose caffeine level better fits professional medical advice.

How much is a large coffee at McDonald’s?
A Large Premium Roast Coffee is shown here at a $3.49 planning reference. The exact local amount depends on the restaurant, and a “large coffee” is not the same product as a Large Cappuccino or Large Iced Coffee.
How Much Is a Senior Coffee at McDonald’s?
There is no national senior-coffee price, minimum age or standard cup size. McDonald’s only confirms that certain locations may offer a special senior discount.
Locally optional
A franchise can offer a senior coffee discount, but it is not mandatory nationwide.
Usually brewed coffee
A local senior-coffee offer normally refers to Premium Roast rather than a caramel espresso drink.
Ask before ordering
Confirm the age requirement, size, price, hours and whether the offer works in the app.
Exact senior-coffee checking script
Ask: “Does this restaurant currently offer a senior discount on Premium Roast Coffee? What age, cup size and price apply today?”
Do not ask only, “Do you have senior coffee?” The more specific question prevents confusion about size, age and whether the offer applies to Cappuccino.

How to Check the Exact Medium Price Near You
Search by ZIP code, city, address or device location.
Confirm its full address because nearby restaurants can show different prices.
Pickup gives a cleaner regular-price comparison than delivery.
Do not select Premium Roast, Caramel Latte or Caramel Macchiato by mistake.
Confirm the description mentions espresso, steamed milk, foam and caramel flavour.
Compare it with Small and Large before customising.
Verify the current Medium calories and milk ingredients.
Confirm the restaurant, size, additions, tax and final amount before paying.
Fair store comparison: use the same Medium size, standard whole-milk recipe, pickup method, date and no personalised deal unless every compared restaurant displays it.

Milk, Allergens and Dietary Limits
Whole milk
The standard recipe contains milk.
Caramel syrup
The caramel ingredients can also contain milk-derived components.
Shared equipment
Normal restaurant operations can create allergen cross-contact.
Espresso
Contains caffeine, although the official milligram amount is not published.
Milk substitution
An available alternative does not automatically remove all allergen risk.
Religious certification
Do not assume Halal or Kosher certification without direct current confirmation.
McDonald’s USA does not certify its menu items as gluten-free and cannot guarantee that products are free from cross-contact. Review the current official Ingredient and Allergen tabs for the exact configured drink.
