Apparatus and method accomplishes the precision pouring of a liquid from a vessel (20) to a predetermined position with a controlled rate of flow. Independently controllable horizontal and vertical translation of the vessel (20) is accomplished by using two rotational elements (30, 40) lying in substantially parallel planes, with the rotational axis of the second elemen t (40) passing through the first element (30), and having offset first and second axes of rotation. Independently controlled tilting of the vessel (20) about a third axis of rotation that passes through the second element (40) maintains a desired pour rate and aim point for the pour stream. The apparat us is particularly useful when the vessel (20) and the receptacle (27) that receives the liquid are inside a sealed chamber (15).
