A liquid dispenser for use with a disposable liquid supply container and a method of using the dispenser is described. The dispenser regulates the flow of liquid by way of a clamping device which substantially seals the liquid from the ambient air. A support for holding the container in an elevated position above the clamping device contains guide flanges which are used to adjust the area in which the container is positioned in the dispenser to accommodate several volume sizes. The liquid flows from the container by gravity through a connector passage which is regulated by the clamping device. In a preferred embodiment, a cooling device is provided to cool the liquid as it flows from the container.
