A universal automated hands-free liquid dispensing system is provided that includes an expandable tube to fit different liquid containers, a pump to draw liquid out of the container and through the tube, and a sensor for detecting the presence of a user so that the user can receive liquid from the container without the need to touch the dispensing system. In some embodiments, a universal dispenser cap is also provided to fit over dispensers of varied neck and spout configurations and dimensions.
