The pouring device contains a spout cap component, a lip portion on the spout cap component, and an attachment component for removably securing the spout cap component to a container for pouring. The attachment component is typically a clip which would be manufactured as an integral piece with the spout cap component. The devices can be manufactured in different sizes and stacked together for storage.
