There is absolutely no need for buying any particular scoops for creatine. First of all, there is no need to be fanatic with dosage precision. Secondly, a normal tea spoon will hold roughly 5 grams of creatine, which is what you need before a workout, and another 5 grams after working out.
keep in mind with those powdered creatines they are full of fillers, sweeteners, and dyes. it has to look and taste good right?
this is why i recommend guys get ancient strength tablets from n2bm. just pure creatine, no gimmicks, no colors.

It should come with a scoop. If not you will want to weigh out 5g if it is creatine mono and has no fillers. If there are other ingredients then you will have to look at the serving size on the container. I am guessing you will find the scoop though. If you don't see it on top just use a fork to sift through the powder.
The scoop is most likely buried at the bottom of the top. Dig around the tub with a butter knife and you'll probably find it at the bottom of the tub.
If there is no scoop, just weigh out your dosage or use a teaspoon. 1 teaspoon = 5g.
There is no need to load or cycle creatine. Supplement with 5-10g per day. When you take the creatine doesn't matter but ideally you would supplement with creatine pre and post workout, as your body is most inclined to absorb nutrients at this time. Supplementing with creatine post workout will also help replenish depleted creatine phosphate stores from your workout.

Creatine resellers have a history of trying to get you to use more than needed. Its a cheap product and you don't need much, hence their hype about loading and their suggested overdosing.
The average athlete only needs, and can only effectively use, 3-5g per day. So, just one teaspoon per day is all you need. Any more will just be pissed out, putting undue stress on your kidneys.
If you are a vegan, 5g per day is enough.
If you are a normal gym rat (and everyone thinks they train like Phil Heath) who regularly eats red meat (and you should eat grass fed beef every day) then 3g per day is enough.
The above is the cause for some people being "non responders". They already have enough creatine in their system from eating meat. Think of creatine in terms of the actual meaning for the word "supplement". You just need enough to top up your levels.
You don't need capsules.
You don't need flavouring
You don't need to load
You don't need to cycle
You don't need to overdose (3-5g)
You don't need anything more than micronised creatine monohydrate
