Is there a plastic taste on a hot day?

Since I bought it recently I can't tell you because it hasn't been hot in Washington yet. But I did find out that if you wash it in super hot water with a fragrance soap it will taste like that soap until you rinse it and air dry it like 100x.That was through my own experience. But that taste is gone now and I still love these bottles.

I know what you mean. I don't recall tasting that plastic taste. But I usually have Zip Fizz flavored water in mine.

Not to me, I soaked it with water and a little bleach, thoroughly rinse and soaked with regular tap water for a few days and that's it.

No this is a really great water bottle no terrible tastes and keeps water cold for long periods of time

I had no problem with tasting like plastic, I washed the water container with dish soap and any other parts that would come out. I made a few cups with water only and never had a problem.

Not that I have seen. But if it is melting, you should see light-colored smoke and should smell plastic heating up as well.

Not that I can tell. I have three. I'm sure thru manufacturing there may be a slight plastic smell, but it dispates quickly .

No I've been using it at my job for months and not a hint of plastic taste ever.

I use this at work and will leave water in it overnight and have never noticed a strange or plastic taste. However, if you leave it full and say in the car possibly with exposure to sun there is a slight taste the next day.

I have never experienced any plastic taste with the ones I own and I have purchased three of these. My grandchildren and great-grandchildren all enjoy the pitchers and seek them out daily for their water needs.

That's a really good question. The plastic container does have a little (very little) plastic or non filtered water like odor. But I don't think I smelled it much when I squart the water into a glass to drink it. It could be that I am pouring tap water into the bottle so I could be smelling that tap water odor.. I hope it helps.

Mine has been in constant use for quite some time now and I have had no residual plastic taste in my coffee. I am a serious coffee drinker and am particular about the flavor. I can assure you that I haven't experienced it with this particular pot.

Yes, this coffeemaker does produce a "smell" of hot plastic when it brews; the worst part, though, is that the coffee TASTES like plastic. We had a Mr. Coffee model that made GREAT coffee for approximately 7 years - OH! That I could find THAT MODEL again! I am online looking for a replacement for this coffeemaker. Any suggestions?

I got mine last summer. No I never noticed a bad plastic smell on the one I have. This is all I can tell you though.Susan

Yes. They taste and smell like plastic and it gets worse over time. I won't be buying them again.

Yes, it pretty much tastes like plastic. It's not unbearable, however. I would recommend a carbon, i.e. activated charcoal filter to overcome this problem, if you can't get past the taste.

We've had these silicone popsicle molds for about a month. As far as I can tell, there is no plastic taste. My children love the popsicles I make in the molds, and if they had a funny plastic taste, I am certain that my children would complain, a lot, to me about it.

I never had any odor, but did have metal like taste, I used vinegar and hot water and let it sit for a whole day.. then it was gone.

no not at all it's extremely clean and tastes far better than plastic. It just tastes, to me, like it does out of a glass.

If they remain in the sun or car and get warm, the water tastes like plastic. But I rarely have that issue. I have 3 sets in my home (2 for adults and one for my child) & he has never complained about taste. I wash mine in the dishwasher and an extra rinse by hand after each use.
