How bad is the Garlicky taste in the new updated version ?

It's not that bad, but I like garlic! You do notice it a bit on your breath right after, but once you eat something else it goes, or at least that has been my experience with it.

New ones are awesome. I got one of the old ones stuck once and it burned in my throat for over a day. New formula is awesome.

I didn't have the previous version, but you can definitely smell it when you open the bottle. I usually fill my mouth with water, drop the pill in and swallow so it never touches my tongue. Of course I love garlic, just not so much in the early morning, but once I eat my breakfast, I don't notice it anymore.

It didn't seem that bad at all compared to other brands. It should be noted that I love garlic having said that it didn't seem that noticeable.

I almost didn't buy it when I saw it was changed. I really liked the original version and didn't like the reviews talking about how horrible it tasted and that it was red now. Plus somebody raised the question about the water as you did. So I emailed the company and reviewed the info at their website. They answered stating they tested the charge with the iodine being packaged with water and said the charge lasted six months and that most customers go through a single bottle in three months so as long as it's used within six months, it's good. At that point I ordered it still worried about the supposed offensive taste figuring I'll just put the drops in juice or water instead of directly into my mouth. But no need. I still just put the three drops under my tongue. It's a bit stronger but nothing like the reviews made me fear. Last, I was thrilled to discover those three drops I take provide the amount of iodine four or five drops of the original bottle provided so we're getting more now for the same amount.

I can tell you this much... since it started coming in this new spray container, it is very drying, compared to what it used to be. I feel like I need to go from the .1 to the .05. I really had no idea there were new ingredients, I thought it was just a fluke.

I've never experienced that before! :-o That sounds disgusting! I've ordered it online and bought it from Traders here in CO and fortunately did not have that experience! So sorry, AG!!

Nope. I used mine straight away and had no issues with taste, smell, or anything.

The bad taste is only if you did not follow the directions and purge the system correctly. If you are a manly man like myself this may be an issue. If you follow the directions and don't do what so many of us do then the water is amazing.... Truly... I have had mine now for 3 years without an issue. Several bypassed the UV because it was heating the water when it sat in the system for a long time. The newer system and the sensor they were nice enough to send to previous customers, has fixed it from heating the water because it now turns on and off. This makes it an on demand type of thing.

The one I got in Dec 2013 is 1.0 :-(, but it was on sale so maybe they cleared out the old ones, not sure how much a difference it makes as the 1.0 one ROCKS!

I am on my first bottle and I found the taste by itself to be absolutely repulsive. I mix it with homemade lemonade (w/stevia) or grapefruit water or even chocolate milk. The Mg changes the flavor a little but at least they make it drinkable.

It tastes like rotten egg farts to be honest. So, not pleasant. All of the brands I've tried have this taste. You have to hold your nose and wash it down with water.

I don't know if I had the old ones but the ones I got this year are TERRIBLE. They taste so bad they make me gag thinking about them and I'm not a picky eater.

The new update is still bloated and slow. Half the apps dont work in the market. VEGAN is still the best way to go. Fast customizable and free. I would stick with the ROMs if your able to put the on.

Our flavor specialist are currently formulating a more concentrated water flavoring. Some people have said they like the current taste but others are asking for something stronger so we listened to your requests and our new & improved, (more flavorful & less sweet) water enhancers will be available approx. Oct. 25th. Thanks! UPDATE: as of 11/26/13 our new & improved flavors are still being tested. The new arrival is expected to be around the new year 2014. Thank you for your patience!

When I contacted them to let them know my kids did not like the new taste, they responded saying "We've brightened the cherry berry flavor, adding a bit of sweet and sour that kids love." My kids sure didn't like the new taste and they are 7 and 9.

I know the ingredients and taste have changed. I do not have the new ones available, but I'm sure you can do an internet search. Just make sure you are looking at the smaller newer canister. Hope this helps.

The new recipe is AWFUL. Bitter, chalky aftertaste, no hazelnut flavor. Yuck. Which dumbass at Nescafe thought the recipe change was a good idea?

The worst part is the touch screen. It's too jumpy and uncontrollable as well as the navigation being too complicated. I also have the earlier version with the push buttons and I still use it. The new version is just sitting on my desk at home. The online access will not let me in to sync either one now. Not sure just why. All that said, I prefer my old Upro mainly for the push buttons which on the course is so much better to operate. Touch screen versions are not user friendly at all!!
