A rectangularly shaped rigid structure having a front panel including an opening therein, a top panel, a rear, bottom, left and right side panels. Also included is an interior panel that cooperates with the interior surfaces of the top, bottom, left and right side panels to form a front compartment dimensioned to contain a collapsible beverage container including a pour spout positioned to project through the front panel opening and a rear compartment dimensioned to contain a cup retainer that holds a plurality of vertically stacked disposable cups. A removable section of the rear panel, delimited by a horizontal linear series of perforations, can be detached so that access is gained to the bottom-most cup, which can be dispensed and placed under the pour spout to dispense the beverage.

1. A portable beverage/cup dispenser comprising a rectangularly shaped rigid structure having a front panel including an opening therein, a top panel, a rear, bottom, left and right side panels, further including an interior panel that cooperates with the interior surfaces of the top, bottom, left and right side panels to form a front compartment dimensioned to contain a collapsible beverage container including a pour spout positioned to project through the front panel opening; and a rear compartment dimensioned to contain a cup retainer including a plurality of vertically stacked disposable cups, each cup having a rim and positioned so that the bottom-most cup will be the first to be dispensed; a removable section of the rear panel, delimited by a horizontal linear series of perforations that will yield to thumbnail pressure and positioned opposite the rim of the bottom-most cup, said perforations extending laterally to form removable sections of the left and right side panels, whereby, upon detaching the removable section, access is gained to the bottom-most cup, which can be dispensed and placed under the pour spout to dispense the beverage.2. The portable beverage/cup dispenser of claim 1, further including a rectangularly shaped removable section comprising a linear series of perforations that will yield to thumbnail pressure and positioned in the top panel of the rigid structure concentric with the center of gravity of the collapsible beverage container, so that upon removal, the included opening forms a flush handle, thereby facilitating the portability of the beverage/cup dispenser while retaining the ability to vertically stack a plurality of dispensers.3. A portable beverage/cup dispenser comprising a rectangularly shaped rigid structure having a front panel including an opening therein, a flush top panel, rear, bottom, left side, right side and bottom panels whereby the improvement comprises an interior vertical panel that separates the structure into front and rear compartments, said front compartment dimensioned to contain a collapsible beverage container including a pour spout positioned to project through the front panel opening; said rear compartment dimensioned to contain a cup retainer including a plurality of vertically stacked disposable cups, each cup having a rim and positioned so that the bottom-most cup will be the first to be dispensed; a removable section of the rear panel, delimited by a horizontal linear series of perforations that will yield to thumbnail pressure and positioned opposite the rim of the bottom-most cup, said perforations extending laterally to form removable sections of the left and right side panels, whereby, upon detaching the removable section, the bottom-most cup can be dispensed and placed under the pour spout to dispense the beverage.4. The portable beverage/cup dispenser of claim 3, further including a rectangularly shaped removable section comprising a linear series of perforations that will yield to thumbnail pressure and positioned in the top panel of the rigid structure concentric with the center of gravity of the collapsible beverage container, so that upon removal, the included opening forms a flush handle, thereby facilitating the portability of the beverage/cup dispenser while retaining the ability to vertically stack a plurality of dispensers.5. A method for dispensing a beverage and a disposable cup from a rectangularly shaped portable dispenser having a front panel including an opening therein, a flush top panel, a rear panel, a collapsible beverage container including a pour spout that projects through said opening, and a plurality of disposable cups comprising the steps of:a) detaching a removable section of the rear panel, delimited by a horizontal linear series of perforations that will yield to thumbnail pressure and positioned opposite the rim of the bottom-most cup, said perforations extending laterally to form removable sections of the left and right side panels, from the rear panel, b) removing a disposable cup, c) placing the cup under the pour spout, d) dispensing the beverage. 6. The method of claim 5, further including detaching a rectangularly shaped removable section comprising a linear series of perforations that will yield to thumbnail pressure and positioned in the top panel of the rigid structure concentric with the center of gravity of the collapsible beverage container, so that the included opening forms a flush handle.
