With a simple iced latte costing $5 (or more!), that daily habit can quickly become expensive. That’s why many people are turning their homes into makeshift cafés. With just a few essentials — think quality coffee beans, matcha powder, almond or oat milk, and flavored syrups — crafting your own drinks at home is surprisingly easy. If this sounds like your kind of vibe, you’ll want to check out Dollar Tree. The discount retailer just rolled out a new set of portable cups so that you can take your homemade beverages on the go. 

People on TikTok can’t stop talking about a set of disposable coffee cups from Dollar Tree — they’re ideal for anyone who spends a lot of time on the go and wants to take their drinks with them throughout the day.

So why are people so obsessed with these plastic cups? The coffee cups from Dollar Tree come with sipper lids, just like the ones you’d find at Starbucks or Dunkin’. And at just $1.25 for a pack of six, each cup costs only about 20 cents.

One TikTok creator, @arielelizabeth.ae, gained nearly 855K views for sharing this Dollar Tree coffee cup find. They received hundreds of comments, including one person saying, “Spectacular I’ll take the whole pack,” and another mentioning, “I’ll definitely be making a Dollar Tree trip this week!”

Others couldn’t get over the idea of using plastic so often. In the same comments, one user wrote, “Are these really the viral coffee cups people have been talking about? I thought they would be some cute reusable cups, not clear plastic throwaway cups. Dang.” Another person questioned, “Why is a plastic cup viral?”

While these plastic cups aren’t available online on Dollar Tree’s website, Amazon Tree offers a similar version if you want to join the at-home coffee shop trend. The online retailer sells a pack of 50 16-ounce cups with lids for less than $20.

Once you get all of your drinkware, then you can focus on the fun part: crafting a bunch of beverages at home. If you need a jumping-off point, you can try to get the hang of making a spicy iced chai or a creamy latte with cold foam.
