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.

Where Does the Kaffekopp Measurement Come From?

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.
