Kaffikok meaning - what is a kaffikok - the distance you can go before needing a cup of coffee

Kaffikok

Kaffikok is a delightful unit of distance—the distance you can go before needing a cup of coffee.

The word comes from the Sámi people of northern Norway, Sweden, and Finland, combining the words for ‘coffee’ and ‘boil.’ A perfect measure for those who navigate the world one cup at a time.
