A dry condiment dispensing system is provided, in which the contents of the dispenser are dispensed through one or more dispensing holes at the bottom of a storage container. A stationary shutter is placed over the dispensing holes to prevent undesired dispensing of the contents of the dispenser. When the storage container is moved in relation to the stationary shutter, the dispensing holes are aligned over a spout in the shutter, such that the stored contents may be dispensed through the dispensing holes and the spout. In a preferred embodiment, the storage container is moved along an axis between a closed position and a dispensing position by a cam. In another preferred embodiment, the storage container is spring loaded, such that the storage container returns to a normally closed position. One or more condiment dispensers can be used to organize such condiments as nutmeg, cinnamon, sugar, and cocoa powder at a coffee station, such as at a gourmet coffee shop.
