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.

A liter (l) is a fundamental unit used to measure volume in the metric system.
In simple terms, it measures the amount of space a substance occupies, like the amount of soda in a bottle. The plural form is liters.
The liter was introduced in France in 1795 during the French Revolution.
It was created as part of a movement toward a more logical and universal system of measurement, which later evolved into the modern metric system.
Initially, the definition of a liter was based on the weight of one kilogram of pure water.
While the original definition was based on the mass of water, it was updated for greater precision and consistency.
Today, the official definition directly connects the liter to a unit of length, making it easier to understand.
So, how big is a liter?
A liter is officially defined as exactly one cubic decimeter (1 dm3).
This means a liter is the volume of a perfect cube with sides that are each 10 centimeters long (10 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm).
The difference between "liter" and "litre" is simply a regional spelling choice—the volume they represent is precisely the same!
Both spellings are correct, and the one you use depends on where you are.
