    This, and don't forget about sugar/milk/creamer if you've added them in

    Search for
    Coffee - brewed from grounds

    That's the USDA database entry. It includes the very few calories that are in a cup of coffee (and, I think, 1 g of protein in two cups), as well as the 116 g of potassium in a cup, IIRC.
    As @malibu927 said, you'll need to log separately any thing you add like sugar, cream, flavored syrup.
    If you're getting an on-the-menu specialty coffee drink from a place like Starbucks, you may be able to find entries that already include milk and syrup, but you'll want to check them against the store's website.
