Portable bottle warmer

I’ve increased bottle feeding with breast milk during the day as I don’t feel confident breast feeding in public, so now mostly just breast feeding at night. Has anyone used a portable bottle warmer that they’d recommend? We have a plug in one for home but I’d like to have one to take out with me
