A gallon (gal) is a unit of volume, most commonly associated with the imperial and US customary systems of measurement.
It is equal to 128 Fluid Ounces (fl-oz).
A common point of confusion is the difference between the US gallon and the imperial gallon (used in the UK and other Commonwealth nations).
They are not the same size!
This difference stems from historical definitions that were standardized differently in the US and Britain during the 18th and 19th centuries.
So, if you're comparing fuel efficiency, remember that "miles per gallon" ratings are based on different-sized gallons!
The word "gallon" has a rich history, tracing its roots back through several languages.
It originates from the Old Northern French word galon, which referred to a liquid measure.
This term is believed to have originated from the Gallo-Roman word gallēta, meaning a "pail" or "bucket." The ultimate origin likely goes back to a Celtic word, highlighting the unit's long-standing use in European trade and daily life for centuries.
While we typically associate the gallon with liquids, there is also a US dry gallon.
This unit, not commonly used today, is equivalent to one-eighth of a bushel, or about 4.405 liters. It was historically used to measure dry goods such as grain or fruit.
This is also why the famous "10-gallon hat" is a misnomer; its name doesn't refer to its volume.
Instead, it is thought to originate from the Spanish word galón, meaning "braid," which refers to the braided band on the hat.
A kaffekopp (plural: kaffekoppar; abbreviation: kkp) is a unit of volume in the metric system equal to 150 milliliters (0.15 liters).
While not an official international unit, it is a traditional measurement essential for authentic Scandinavian baking and cooking.
The term "kaffekopp" is Swedish for "coffee cup."
This charming unit of measurement originated in traditional Scandinavian kitchens, where recipes were passed down using common household items, such as a standard-sized coffee cup, to measure ingredients.
To create consistency, the volume was later standardized to exactly 150 ml (or 1.5 dl), which reflects the typical size of an older Swedish coffee cup.
This standardization allows cooks everywhere to recreate historic recipes with perfect results.
Adapting a traditional Swedish recipe is easy when you know the right conversions.
One kaffekopp (kkp) is equal to:
Having these quick conversions is crucial for any baker or cook outside of Scandinavia wanting to follow traditional recipes without the guesswork.
The kaffekopp (coffee cup) is a traditional Swedish measure used in many classic baking recipes—especially for dry ingredients like flour and sugar.
For instance, an old sockerkaka (sponge cake) recipe might call for "2 kkp socker" (2 kaffekoppar of sugar).
Using this familiar, standardized cup helps maintain the correct ingredient ratios, which is crucial for achieving the authentic texture and flavor of Scandinavian baked goods.
So next time you see kkp in a recipe, you'll know exactly what to use.
