1. An apparatus comprising:

  • a thermoelectric cooling unit coupled to a power supply, the thermoelectric cooling unit including a heat sink and a thermoelectric cooling plate, the thermoelectric cooling plate having first and second surfaces spaced apart from each other, the first surface arranged to expend thermal energy from the second surface to the heat sink; and

    a removable container configured for holding and dispensing a liquid, the container including a thermally conductive portion removably positioned on the thermoelectric cooling unit by having frictional contact with the second surface of the thermoelectric cooling plate, the frictional contact being sufficient to result in transfer of thermal energy from the conductive portion of the container on to the second surface of the thermoelectric cooling plate and effectively cool the liquid in the container.
