Greetings,
The way I have always used the scoops is to part fill a cup or similar with powder and press the back of the scoop down into the powder until the powder flows into it to just overflow. lift the scoop out and a slight sideways shake to level it. This achieves a consistent fill. A scooping motion with the open side of the scoop toward the powder will give inconsistent results. I read this somewhere but can't remember where.
