Papablic has released a portable bottle warmer that combines rapid milk heating with built-in sterilization for use away from home. The compact unit warms 2 oz of refrigerated milk in about 2.5 minutes, a rate the company says is roughly 30 percent faster than comparable devices. A sealed heating cycle targets common bacteria such as E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella typhimurium and aims to eliminate 99.9 percent of contaminants, allowing the warmer to double as a sterilizer for items like pacifiers and teethers.
The appliance weighs under one pound when empty, has a wide-mouth opening for easier cleaning, and carries up to 10 oz of liquid. Four internal 3,200 mAh batteries recharge via a USB-C connection in about one hour and 50 minutes and can prepare six to eight bottles per charge, according to Papablic. The design is intended to fit inside diaper bags and to operate without a separate base, making it suitable for travel, restaurant visits, or power outages.
Papablic notes that the warmer can be powered from a vehicle adapter and meets Transportation Security Administration guidelines for carry-on items, expanding its use to road and air travel. The product is available through the company’s online storefront, where customers can apply a limited-time ten-dollar discount with the code WFPBW at checkout. Papablic has not indicated when introductory pricing will end.
