Device and method for measuring and dispensing customizable amounts of material

A device and method for measuring and dispensing customizable amounts of dried non-flowable material (e.g. tea, herbs, cannabis, etc.) and solid material (e.g. cake yeast and butter) may comprise a tubular housing and an adjustable plunger. The front-end portion of the tubular housing may include a plunger cavity for insertion of the adjustable plunger. The rear-end portion of the tubular housing may include a chamber to capture solid material for measuring. The adjustable plunger may define the depth of the chamber, such that when the length of the plunger is adjusted, the chamber depth is set to a predetermined volume. In operation, the user may place the measuring device, chamber-side down into the solid or non-flowable material to gather the material into the chamber. When the user desires to release the substance, the user can apply pressure on the adjustable plunger to release the same.
