yesss!! This is what I drink all the time. Low carb, delicious. The one by me used to have sugar free caramel syrup but it's gone now. Their sugar free vanilla is good, so is the mocha if you like chocolate. And almond milk is good too-low calorie and some extra protein.
Almond milk is not a bad choice if you like it -- it's basically flavored water, so very low cal, low carb so long as you don't get the sugar added kind, but it's really not any kind of protein source.
Unless it's the almond milk with protein added, but I'm pretty sure Starbucks uses one that is sweetened same with their coconut milk.1 -
Something I learned when I was low carb is that heavy cream in coffee is amazing, Starbucks has it and will give you some in a cup on the side so you can control how much goes in, 1 tablespoon is 50 calories so you don't want them free pouring that. And 1 tablespoon is really about all you need to make it creamy, not like almond milk where you need like a gallon and it still isn't creamy, just watery. That with a couple pumps of their sugar free vanilla or sugar free cinnamon dolce is delicious.1

Tall nonfat mocha with half the chocolate and no whip. -around 130 calories (I'd have to check) and tastes great to me.0

I go through phases with liking coffee and then not liking it. Right now I'm not liking it, but even when I do, I don't like Starbucks.
I agree with the poster upthread who said that Starbucks over roasts their coffee. It's horribly burnt tasting to me.
When I do drink coffee, I just like it plain with a splash of skim milk and splenda. I've never been one for those fancy coffee drinks. Now, I don't mind a latte with the milk frothed now and then, but I do that at home where I can control the calories.1 -

In Melbourne, Australia - the coffee capital of the world. I don't see it ending well...1 -

LOL, partly tongue in cheek, but it does get consistently voted best coffee in the world by random travel surveys1 -
I love my caffe misto, I get a pump of sugar free mocha and sugar free cinnamon dolce.
If you ask for the non-fat milk it will be way under 100 calories.

Coffee frap light if you want blended. Grande is 100 or 110 cals
Iced coffee or hot coffee and just add your own cream. I've been measuring my cream long enough at home that I can easily eyeball how much I use.
Tall latte if you want creamy and hot. Skim or coconut milk to reduce calories further, but both change the flavor pretty drastically. I'm a big fan of ordering a short size and going with regular milk.
I'm not a fan of sugar free syrup, so if I want a "coffee treat" I get a hot latte and add 1 pump of white mocha (which I think is 60 calories). I allow more than 100 calories, though, since it's only an occasional thing and I'll specifically fit it in. Iced Venti or hot grande with some extra espresso and the little bit of white mocha totally worth the 200-300 or so calories plus the $50 -

How do you make it for free? Beans, coffee maker, k-cups, filters all cost money. I use regular coffe beans and a French press, but even that cost money...obviously not as expensive as a $4 coffee from Starbucks.
To answer the question, the Caramel Light frappuccino is only 140 cals, not too bad and tastes good. The refreshers are really good and all really reasonable, 60-110 cals.6 -
