    Abstract: A funnel for transferring a flowable ingredient into a receiving container and which indicates the level of the flowable ingredient in the receiving container. The input end of the funnel extends downwardly to the output end which has a smaller circumference than the input end. At least one sensor is located on the outer surface of the funnel body adjacent to the output end with each sensor located at a different distance from the input end. As the flowable ingredient fills the receiving container, the flowable ingredient is sensed by each sensor which then activates a display to provide an indication of the level of the flowable ingredient in the receiving container, with the final indication being that the receiving container is full. The final indication causes the output end to seal such that transfer of the flowable ingredient is stopped.
