Devices, systems, and apparatuses, and associated methods of preparing a liquid food item for consumption by a liquid food item preparation device are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a device includes an inner shell having an inner surface and an outer surface, an outer shell having an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface of the inner shell defining a liquid holding volume and the outer surface of the inner shell and the inner surface of the outer shell defining a vacuum chamber. The outer shell and inner shell can be configured to form an orifice to the liquid holding volume at their junction. The device can be configured to prepare a liquid food item for consumption, including by powering a heating element and mixer device that can be configured to respectively heat and mix a liquid food item in the liquid holding volume.

Devices, systems, and apparatuses for heating a liquid are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a heater includes a base comprising a generally planar surface and at least two heater pillars and a sensor pillar configured on the base. The at least two heater pillars each comprise heating elements. The sensor pillar includes a thermal sensor. A mixing element is configured on the generally planar surface of the base and is coupled to a mixing motor. When powered, the heating elements of the heater pillars are configured to generate heat and the mixing motor is configured to cause the mixing element to rotate.

An apparatus is presented for thawing a frozen drink in a glass bottle. The apparatus includes: a housing with a bottle receiving space arranged therein and designed to accommodate a glass drinking bottle; a heating device that is arranged in the housing and has radiative heat sources that are arranged around the bottle receiving space in order to radiate heat energy onto the glass drinking bottle, and a thermal insulation and cooling device which is arranged in the housing. The thermal insulation and cooling device has a thermally insulating space which is formed between the radiative heat sources and an outer housing wall, so as to encompass the outer housing wall. An air cooling system draws air from the surroundings into the housing via an air intake and conveys the air via an air guide to an air outlet, where the air guide encompasses the thermally insulating space.

An infant bottle feeding system includes an infant bottle with a chamber that receives a liquid, heating or cooling elements operable to heat or cool liquid in the chamber and sensors operable to sense parameters of the liquid in the chamber. The system optionally includes an electronic base removably attached to a bottom surface of the infant bottle and operable to deliver power to electronics in the infant bottle. The system optionally includes a thermal cover that fits over the infant bottle and releasably couples to the electronic base to enclose the infant bottle, the thermal cover insulating the infant bottle and inhibiting heat loss of the liquid in the chamber. The electronic base delivers power to the heating elements and sensors in the infant bottle only when the infant bottle is on the electronic base. The infant bottle, thermal cover and electronic base define a single travel pack unit when coupled together.

Disclosed is a baby bottle warmer, including a machine body, a baby bottle basket and a lifting device. The lifting device includes a rotating member, the rotating member rotates to drive the baby bottle basket to move up or down; and since the rotating member is always located on the same plane and position during rotation, a heating plate is arranged in the rotating member without affecting the function of the rotating member. Furthermore, the baby bottle warmer provided by the present disclosure has a compact and exquisite structure.
