Abstract
The disclosure relates to a measuring device for a granulated product, including a top component comprising a leveling component and a clump-breaking component and a bottom component comprising a scoop and a handle. The measuring device allows a user to remove excess product from the scoop by moving the leveling component along the opening of the scoop. Further, the clump-breaking component serves to break the clump of product that forms in the scoop upon dispensing the product from the measuring device into a receptacle, which may contain a liquid. Breaking the clump of product improves the dissolution of the product into a liquid.
