Abstract

A device for dispensing a pre-determined volume of liquid from a container. The device comprises a pour spout adapted for coupling to the mouth of the container, an inverted cup including an open mouth and a discharge port communicating with the interior of the cup, and a dispensing tube coupling the pour spout to the discharge port. A check valve is provided inside the cup. The container has a bottom which includes a well having a base and a shoulder. The open mouth is adapted for sealing against the shoulder such that the cup, when disposed in the container, defines a measuring reservoir including an inlet port.
