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.

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.
A deciliter (dL) is a common metric unit of volume equal to one-tenth of a liter.
It is often used in cooking and medical measurements.
While less common in North America, the deciliter is a standard unit of measurement in many European kitchens, especially in Scandinavia.
It's frequently used in recipes to measure both dry and liquid ingredients, such as flour, sugar, water, and milk.
You'll often find it printed on measuring cups and food packaging throughout the region.
The deciliter plays a crucial role in the medical field.
Blood test results often use this unit to express the concentration of substances in the blood.
For example, blood sugar levels are commonly measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), and cholesterol levels are also frequently reported this way.
The deciliter fits neatly within the decimal-based metric system.
The prefix "deci-" means one-tenth, so a deciliter is exactly one-tenth of a liter.
