This is a very similar concept to the First Years baby bottle warmer. Like the First Years, it uses a little pot for warming up the bottle, rather than steam, making it much easier to clean and maintain.

To use the system, you place the baby bottle into the pot and then add enough water to fill the reservoir up to the same level as the level of milk in the bottle. If the bottle is completely full, you can fill the reservoir up to about 1 cm below the top of the reservoir. It has different heat settings based on how much milk is in the bottle.
