I'm coming from "perfect square" silicone trays that are starting to embed taste in the cubes. Do these cubes have any detectable metallic taste?

I never noticed any off taste from the cubes from the onyx tray, however I do not notice any imparted taste from the plastic trays either. Sorry I could not be more definitive.

No taste, which is awesome, but my mechanism broke within the first two weeks.

I have had this tray for a few years and have never had any taste in the cubes. I do use Spring water to fill the trays. I do not use tap water. It is a little challenging removing the cubes,however, once you get the hang of successfully removing the cubes, it is a great tray. Stainless steel is the only way to go!

No metal taste, and my mechanism broke also but it was my fault---you need to let the tray sit for couple of minutes before trying to get the cubes out.

Hmm. I think I know what you're asking. When I lived with my ex husband our ice cubes would taste odd depending on what was in the freezer at any given time. I don't have this here at my new place, regardless of if I'm using the trays, this, or my icemaker. But I assume because the ice is formed in an enclosed, sealed state it would greatly cut down on intrusive odors.

Well . . . it's possible. My neighbor borrowed my $150 Chef's choice grinder and cleaned it their dishwasher. The aluminum tray atop is now a rainbow/gray color. The auger and housing are all a deep gray now. I'm wondering if it's still food-safe? I think if there was not a heated drying cycle invollved . . . this may have been ok. I'm just sick.

No. I don't find a metallic taste when drinking through these straws. They are awesome!

Yes, I've had the same experience as another poster who said that the ice cubes end up making the liquid they're in taste like soap, it is a very bad taste. I've tried cleaning the product but that doesn't seem to help at all. Going to have to discontinue use.

I have not noticed a metallic taste. However I have not used it much because it doesn't fit into the cup holder in my car.

Yes I do that my self in order not to spill it all over the floor, and that was not the main concern for me, for some reason the tray being made from silicone material it gives a bad taste to the ice cubes and a bit challenging to remove from the tray as well. It would be excellent product if it was made from hard plastic and not silicone.

I Haven't Experienced Any Metallic Taste. I Use My Straws For My Fruit And Vegetable Juices And Smoothies So That Could Influence Me Not Experiencing That Taste. I Washed The Stainless Steel Straws With A Straw Cleaner. You Can Find One For About $3 Online Or In A Store. My Long Straw Cleaner Is From Bed Bath And Beyond. The Curved Stainless Steel Straws Come With A Small Straws Cleaner. This May Help You Get That Taste Out Of It. I Also Soaked Them In Hot Water With A Small Drizzle Of Dawn Cleaner For About 30 Minutes Prior To Scrubbing With The Straw Cleaner. Hope This Information Helps.

Mine are all copper and they taste like copper too. I think you can get stainless or copper ones. These appear to have been a think gage round copper wire that's been hammered flat in the middle and curled up at the ends for grip

No, the cups unfortunately didn't state. The cups upon initial use would impart a metallic aluminum taste in the mouth which diminished after about 4-5 rounds of washing in hot water. On occasion they would also cause a mild electrical sensation as though you'd bit into a bit of tin.

Hi Kim, I haven't noticed any metal taste. I use alkaline water from the local water house, and use the full range of temperatures for brewing...though I do brew pretty strong, so I'm not sure if I would even taste it if it were subtle. Thanks, Tracy

No metallic taste at all. There is a soft scraping sound as you push the plunger down to strain the grounds through the brewed coffee.

They are metal cubes. Mine only look...metal. Maybe that's how they look if you set them out damp in warm weather.

I gave the dehydrator to my mother as a gift. I asked her your questions. She said the trays are steel (she beleives), the food does not absorb metalic tastes, and the unit does have a setable therometer.

(Copy of my own Post for your benefit) I've had this since Nov 2007 & functionally its performed well but attempted just now to contact the Ariete HQ in Italy seeking a replacement tray. The metallic finish (beneath the perforated stainless sheet) begain corroding on the inside corners within the first two months & has progressed to a point that it literally appears to be an active chemical reaction slowly working its way in six or seven areas. I now worry whether the internal parts might also be of suspect (read : CHINA) manufacture.
