The apparatus includes a housing having a dispensing location for liquid disposed above a repository for a liquid storage container. A pressurising assembly including an air pump supplies gas to pressurize the container and cause liquid to leave the container via a delivery tube. A replaceable flow assembly including a manifoldand a reservoirconveys liquid from the delivery tubeto the reservoir and thence from the reservoirto the dispensing location. The manifold has an underside which includes a riser tube connectorand a reservoir connectorto rigidly mount the manifold on the reservoir. An upper side of the manifold has an outletlocated directly above the reservoir connector. The manifold contains a chamberconfigured to convey liquid from the riser tube connectorto the reservoirand a connectorfor feeding a second reservoir provided with a steam venting valve. A valve connectorconnects the steam venting valve to an air passagewhich travels through a lifting handleto the reservoirvia the chamber. The flow assembly contains no check valves or bypass valves and is self-purging on replacement.
