Abstract: A utensil for manipulating a container that includes an open end that is substantially in the shape of a cylinder or conical frustrum. In some examples, the utensil includes a substantially flat body further including a curved end complimenting the shape of the container and defining an aperture, an elongated support member affixed to the body opposite the curved end, and a retaining member that is affixed to the curved end the body, is configured to selectively retain the container in cooperation with the body in a position where the open end of the container overlies the aperture defined in the body when the container is selectively retained by the retaining member, and compliments the shape of the container. In further examples, the utensil's retaining member includes a plurality of de tents configured to selectively restrict the container in a position retained by the retaining member.

Abstract: A granule dispenser for dispensing granules into a receiving cup, the granule dispenser including a dispenser and a base. The dispenser includes a collector rotatably mounted to the dispenser and configured to receive a predetermined volume of granules. The collector defines a cavity defining a dispensing volume and a port providing access to the cavity. The base supports the dispenser from underneath the dispenser and includes a chute, a support, and a catch plate. The support is configured to releasably mount the receiving cup beneath the chute in a position to receive granules from the chute. The catch plate is spaced beneath the support in a position below the receiving cup when the receiving cup is mounted to the support to catch granules that are not transferred to the receiving cup. In some examples, the collector rotates between a receiving position where the port is positioned to receive granules and a dispensing position where the port is positioned above the chute.
