Abstract: Measuring and dispensing apparatus for accurately measuring and dispensing a precise volume of granular material or the like includes a cup portion having an upper rim defined by a downwardly and inwardly tapering side wall and defining a desired interior volume up to the plane defined by the upper edge of the rim, a handle portion having one end thereof fixed to the cup portion and a substantially cylindrical leveler member located over the cup portion having a downwardly and inwardly tapering inner surface which in the normal position of the leveler member forms a substantial extension of the side wall of the upper rim of the cup portion. A mechanism provided for moving the leveler member over the rim of the cup portion and for urging the leveler member back to the normal position. The apparatus is appropriately designed so that any excess granular material is advantageously removed in a manner such that such excess material does not remain on the apparatus.
