Abstract
A bottle warmer for warming a beverage (e.g., baby formula or milk) stored in a disposable baby bottle assembly including a disposable liner supported in a hollow sleeve (holder). The bottle warmer includes a heat transfer element that enters a lower opening of the bottle sleeve and contacts the liner. In one embodiment, the heat transfer element includes a cylindrical wall that slides between the sleeve wall and the liner to facilitate faster heating. The bottle warmer also includes a portable (e.g., gas or electric) heat generating system that heats the heat transfer element, which in turn heats a beverage stored in the liner.
