Hi
The noun dispenser is often used, and dispense can be used.
A dispenser is a machine that can provide refreshments, to dispense in the context of the test means to give out, automatically. Offering is contextually more appropriate here.
If you require further explanation of the usage look of dispense(r) take a look at;

Dispensing sounds very strange, and out of place.
