are the outer capsule casings supposed to be bitter to the tongue?

I found them to have a terrible taste but I don't know why. I noted that in my review. The only way I can get them down is to pool water in my mouth, push the capsule in and swallow quickly.

I noticed that they are a bit bitter, but it's nothing terrible, I just swallow them quickly. I have some raw vitamin capsules that taste far worse to to tongue, but I just swallow those quickly as well and chase it with something that tastes better.

I take several other supplements that taste far worse, so I cannot be the judge of that. They do have a vinegar and earthy taste to them though. Could just be the gelatin capsule absorbing the smells inside the bottle.

Sorry for tje delayed answer. I personally hadnt notice a bitterness but its possible. I have been taking them for a while so Im used to whatever taste the capsules have.

It should not taste bitter. It should have a very mild flavor. You may want to return the shipment.

Yes, but not too well. You can't squeeze enough juice before you start to squeeze the bitter insides.

Nope, haven't noticed! We've had them since about the end of January. We have 4 in total (of the different designs) and we all use them in varying amounts. No problem even after several days of non-use. And two of us are pretty picky with our tastebuds!

I had the same problem on a bottle I ordered back in May 2014. They didn't have the right coating and tasted so bitter/sour that I choked on one. I still have the bottle because it was too late to return them but I might try calling the manufacturer for a replacement. I just stopped taking them.

Yes, my new bottle definitely has a "chemical" or "industrial" smell to it. Previous bottles have not. The capsules also taste noticeably more bitter. I'm concerned and I've reached out to NOW.

I have only used the gel caps and I am pleased with the product. You do have to wash the gel caps and not bite them, the taste is not good.

I've noticed the capsules themselves stink when you open them. Maybe a capsule opened in your bottle? They capsules themselves have always stunk

I didn't notice that on mine. It sounds weird but you might try licking it and seeing if it tastes like anything. For better or worse your food will end up tasting like anything you cook it in. If it tastes like nothing you are fine.

The gum is in a capsule. I understand the taste may not be favored even if there is benefit for the teeth.

Mine was not. Maybe the honey crystalized a bit? If the grittiness looks like honey particles then I would suspect that. If it looks like a darker grit, then I would think you got a bad tube.

Not bitter even when we brew strong. Acidity level? Relatively mild. Good luck.

I used other capsules with it. Even obviously smaller ones. The smaller capsules have to be carefully inserted otherwise they fall through. Takes a couple of tries but it work. The Nepresso ones taste MUCH better though.

My bottle does the same thing! This is by far my favorite brand of almond flavoring, this should be fixed. Must be a bad design.

Same here. I have been taking them for more than 7 years and it happens all the time. I figured it was the casing.

It is and somewhere on the label it does say it. I find it to be slightly more bitter in taste though.

The outer glass is smooth...the dimples may be on the inside from the form/shaping making of the bottles.
