Does anyone know the actual measurement amount of the blue scoop. Ours has disappeared and trying not to pay $6.50 for another one.

I think you would be okay just with a very close guess. I remember reading here from an expert that as long as you add enough for it to turn pink, being perfectly exact on the scoops doesn’t matter. Let’s be honest, the scoop could be heaping, or level, and that could be a big difference if the true amount actually mattered. I bet if you just tap tapped a bit in there you’d be fine.

We lost ours a couple years ago. I had one of those measuring spoon sets for less than 1/8 teaspoon amounts, labeled “pinch”, “drop,” “smidge”, “dash,” “tad,” etc. I use the tiniest one from that set called “drop”. Lol Works great. Usually just one heaping scoop with that teensy one works great.
I think I worked out actual measurement of each of the spoons once, and they were like 1/16, 1/32, 1/64 of a teaspoon etc. RTamanda is right, exact measure isn’t critical. I just chose the smallest of the set because it was closest to the teensy blue scoop.

Use a round knife end to get a bit and see if the water turns pink. If so you have enough.

To give you a benchmark: On the Taylor scoop it says 0.05g. As Kim said: If it turns pink, it's enough.
BB size is a little small but not much. Pea-size is a bit too large but not by much, either.
Somewhere in the middle is about right.
THE PRECISE AMOUNT IS NOT CRITICAL.

A lifetime supply is inexpensive.

How about one of these? It could be dual purpose.

Fwiw, if you ever run out of DPD before end-of-year, you can plus-up with this, which includes the spoon. (How do I know this? I stupidly left my stuff outside for 2 weeks of summer heat while on vacation. 
)
)I just add the little stuff to a already free tallied order to have as spare and same goes for the spin bar.....
