Abstract
A dispensing system includes a liquid dispensing tap, an associated measuring cap/cup and a cap adapter or holder which is removably received onto the tap and which in turn removably receives the cap/cup. The dispensing tap, adapter/holder and cap/cup are configured such that the holder and cap/cup are assembled with the tap prior to installation onto a container, and stay assembled with the tap during installation onto the container at the filling line, and which can later be removed for use and then selectively reattached to the tap or container after use by the consumer.
