Bomb calorimeter.
Reason: food calories are determined by measuring the heat of combustion of a sample. A bomb calorimeter burns the sample in a sealed, oxygen‑filled vessel and measures the heat released; a coffee‑cup calorimeter (open, constant‑pressure) is not suitable for combustion measurements.
