  We report on the design, implementation, and performance of a novel compact
two-dimensional (2D) magneto-optical trap. Our setup features cesium dispensers
that are directly integrated into a small-volume vacuum chamber. We observe a
peak atom flux of $4 \times 10^8$ atoms/s, which is comparable to the
performance of more complex cesium sources. Using a numeric model, we analyze
the working principle of our setup and find that the majority of the atom flux
results from direct capture of atoms from the dispenser jet, allowing for
economic use of the dispensers. Our design can be readily extended to a broad
range of atomic species, making an important contribution to simplification and
standardization of ultracold atom setups.
