Abstract
A self-heating beverage dispenser assembly (10) with an insulated hollow body (18) with an interior space (16) for receipt of hot beverage (14) at an initial beverage temperature is provided with a beverage submersible passive heating element (12) submersed in the beverage and having a body with an interior core (48) made of heat retentive material, such a phase change material or ceramic material or the like, and surrounded by a protective outer shell (46) made of material substantially impervious to contact with hot beverage (14). The core (48) is preheated to an initial internal temperature significantly greater than the initial beverage temperature to transfer heat from the core (48) to the beverage (13) within the container, said self-contained passive heating element being contained within the interior of the hollow body. A passive heating unit energizer (44) selectively heats the passive heating unit (12) to the desired initial internal temperature.
