1. A method for dispensing metered shots of cannabis-containing or hemp-containing concentrate into a receiving vessel, the method comprising the steps of
a. providing a control module that includes a touch screen, the control module being adapted to execute operations including
i. receiving data that characterizes the concentrate, the data being selected from a group consisting of fluid viscosity, density, temperature, and desired mass of a shot size of the concentrate to be dispensed;
ii. controlling process parameters based on the data, the process parameters being selected from a group consisting of revolution, time, and discharge rate that influence an endless piston pump or a progressive cavity pump;
b. communicating the control module with the endless piston pump or progressive cavity pump;
c. deploying a disposable tube and plunger to feed the endless piston pump or progressive cavity pump with bulk concentrate by loading bulk concentrate into the disposable tube and inserting the plunger after the tube is loaded and placing the concentrate into an aluminum housing before applying an end cap
d. positioning an empty receiving vessel into a position in relation to the endless piston pump or progressive cavity pump using a positioning device, or manually placing the receiving vessel into position;
e. dispensing a metered shot of the concentrate into the empty receiving vessel to prepare a filled vessel; and
f. re-positioning the filled vessel in registration with the positioning device so that the dispenser becomes engaged with a subsequent empty receiving vessel.
