A discharge head for discharging liquid as an atomized spray jet and as a non-atomized liquid stream or as individual droplets. The discharge head fastening fastens to a base unit and has a liquid outlet through which liquid is discharged from a reservoir into the atmosphere, and a liquid inlet through which liquid is conducted out of the reservoir to the liquid outlet. An internal part is arranged inside an outlet channel, and a spray opening is provided on the internal part. The internal part and the outlet channel are relatively displaceable so that in a first position a bypass duct is produced between an internal wall of the outlet channel and an outer face of the internal part, the flow resistance thereof being lower than the spray duct, and in a second position is partially closed wherein the flow resistance of the bypass duct is greater than the spray duct.
