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.
A kiloliter (kl) is a unit of volume in the metric system, equal to 1,000 liters.
It's used for measuring large quantities where using liters would be impractical.
A kiloliter is equivalent to a cubic meter, meaning they represent the same amount of volume. This creates a straightforward 1:1 relationship for conversions:
This direct conversion makes it incredibly easy to switch between liquid volume and spatial volume. This is particularly useful in fields like civil engineering, hydrology, and construction for tasks like calculating the capacity of a reservoir, swimming pool, or cargo container.
The kiloliter is a standard unit for measuring large quantities of liquids across many industries. When measuring large volumes, liters can become cumbersome, which is where the kiloliter comes in.
You'll commonly encounter the kiloliter in:
For water under standard conditions, there is a valuable and straightforward relationship between its volume and its mass.
One kiloliter of water has a mass of almost exactly one metric ton (1,000 kilograms).
This handy conversion, one kl of water ≈ 1 tonne, is fundamental in logistics and shipping, where the weight of liquid cargo is a critical factor.
