An apparatus includes a container having an interior configured to contain a beverage, and a base configured to support the container on a support surface. A first coupler is mounted to the container. A pod having a second coupler is configured to couple with the first coupler while the pod is located in the interior of the container. The pod physically contacts the beverage and can be configured to rotate within the container.

1. An apparatus, comprising: a container having an interior configured to contain a beverage, and a base configured to support the container on a support surface;a first coupler mounted to the container;a pod having a second coupler configured to couple with the first coupler while the pod is located in the interior of the container, such that the pod is configured to physically contact the beverage;the pod is at least one of conical, fluted and helical; anda platform configured to support the base of the container, the platform is configured to rotate the pod while the pod is located inside the container, and the platform comprises a second magnetic field configured to detach a second magnet of the pod from a first magnet of the container for removal of the pod from the interior of the container. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first coupler is located inside the base. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first coupler is mounted to the base in the interior of the container. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first coupler protrudes into at least a portion of the interior of the container. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the container has an axis, and the first and second couplers are configured to axially align along the axis. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the pod has a recess that is configured to seat on the first coupler, and the recess is located on a lower surface of the pod. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the pod contains a material having a freezing point of about 0° C. or less, wherein the pod is configured to help maintain or reduce a temperature of the beverage. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the base has a lower planar exterior surface, and the first and second coupler comprise complementary snap-fit structures. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first and second coupler comprise first and second magnets, respectively. 10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the first and second magnets are rare earth magnets, and the first and second magnets are individually sealed with seals that are fluid-impermeable. 11. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the first and second magnets are cylindrical in shape. 12. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the platform is configured to rotate the pod with a magnetic field. 13. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the platform comprises a switch configured to selectively rotate the pod. 14. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the platform comprises a second switch configured to selectively activate and deactivate the second magnetic field. 15. An apparatus, comprising: a container having an interior configured to contain a beverage, and a lower planar exterior surface configured to support the container on a support surface;a first coupler mounted to the container adjacent the lower planar exterior surface;a pod having a second coupler configured to be located in the interior of the container and couple with the first coupler, the pod being configured to contact the beverage, the pod having a sealed interior chamber containing a material having a freezing point of 0° C. or less, and the pod is configured to reduce or maintain a temperature of the beverage;a platform having a support surface configured to support the lower planar exterior surface of the container, the platform being configured to rotate the pod while the pod is located inside the container; andthe platform comprises a second magnetic field configured to detach a second magnet of the pod from a first magnet of the container for removal of the pod from the interior of the container. 16. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the platform comprises a second switch configured to selectively activate and deactivate the second magnetic field.
