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 cubic meter (m3) is a unit of volume in the metric system, equal to one thousand liters (1000 L).
It is the volume of a perfect cube with sides that are exactly one meter long. The plural form is cubic meters.
It can be challenging to visualize a cubic meter in your mind. Still, a few everyday examples help clarify the concept. One cubic meter is roughly the size of:
The cubic meter (m3) is the SI unit for volume — the global standard used in science, engineering, and international trade.
Because it's based on the meter (the SI unit of length), it fits neatly into a consistent measurement system.
This makes it practical for measuring large amounts — from the concrete for a building to the capacity of a shipping container.
The cubic meter has a direct and valuable relationship with mass.
For example, one cubic meter of pure water at its maximum density has a mass of almost exactly 1,000 kilograms (or one metric ton).
The unit is also used in specialized fields. When measuring stacked firewood, a cubic meter is often called a "stere."
While it's not an official SI unit, the stere is still commonly used in the forestry and timber industries.
