A portable liquid heating and dispensing system is provided. A preferred embodiment includes a self-contained dispensing unit and a receiver. The dispensing unit may include a container portion, a dispensing portion, and an electric heat generating portion. The container portion has a main reservoir for holding a supply of the liquid to be dispensed. The dispensing portion has a down tube, a manually operated pump mechanism connected to the down-tube, and an outlet spout connected to the pump mechanism. The pump mechanism has a liquid reservoir. Liquid is drawn through the down tube and into the liquid reservoir and out of the outlet spout. The heat generating portion is positioned at the liquid reservoir, so that liquid pumped out of the main reservoir is heated before being pumped out of the spout. The receiver accepts and provides power to the self-contained dispensing unit.

1. A portable liquid heating system for heating and dispensing a liquid, the system comprising:a self-contained dispensing unit comprising: a container portion with a main liquid reservoir for holding a supply of the liquid to be dispensed and a neck portion with an opening; a dispensing portion having a down tube with a flow conduit, a manually operated pump mechanism connected to the down tube, and an outlet spout connected to the pump mechanism, the pump mechanism having a pump mechanism liquid reservoir, whereby liquid in the main reservoir of the container portion is received by the down tube and pumped into the pump mechanism liquid reservoir and out of the outlet spout; and an electric heat generating portion positioned at the dispensing portion, whereby liquid pumped out of the main reservoir is heated before being dispensed through the outlet spout; a receiver for accepting the self-contained dispensing unit, the receiver providing a power source removably connectable to the electric heat generating portion; and wherein the receiver further provides presence sensing means, whereby when the self-contained dispense unit is not positioned in the receiver, power to the coil in the receiver is at least reduced.
