ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a portion-taker device for taking a substance, the device including at least one measuring scoop, which scoop comprises:a frame; anda flap mounted to pivot relative to the frame and co-operating with it to define, in a first position, the bottom of a cavity that it used for taking the substance; the frame being arranged in such a manner as to enable a user to exert thrust on the flap on its side opposite from the cavity so as to reduce the volume thereof until the flap reaches a second position in which the volume of the cavity is substantially zero.
