Does the spout or container add any taste to the liquid? We bought another brand and the spout was cheap metal and the drink tasted horrible.

Not that I have noticed but drinks like iced tea can leave a mark if left too long.

This product has been used three times and I have had no complaints about an "off taste".

I don't notice any difference and I have two. The spout is a different material but I do not know about metal. I have two, my sister has one and my cousin has one but no difference in taste on any of them.

I have used mine for ice water about 6 times. We have not noticed any off taste. The spout is plastic. Hope that helps.

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.

Yes it tastes bad. But you need to mix it with a strong juice like orange to help offset the bitter taste. Your not sipping it anyway so chug it and have a chaser ready to go.

I never found any metallic taste. I do know this is the best kettle that I have found on the market. It heats water very quickly, and is not as noisy as others I have had.

There is no plastic taste now. However the machine stopped working after 3 months. The carafe lid was poorly made and held water inside. I would not buy this appliance knowing what I now know about it.

no -- not at all. I have been drinking far more water since I bought my Brita Water Bottle. I have also found that there is no funny taste added to any water that I have used in my bottle. I love it!

There's a mineral cartridge you can place in the bottle for when the water runs to add minerals to the water but you don't have to get it. I've had this for years and have had no plastic taste to my water. Used the mineral cartridge for a bit and then when it was supposed to be finished thew it out. I'm still using mine have had it since around 2007. Keep babying it because the water where I live now is hard and I love this boiling pot!!!

Yes. Initially, I thought it was just discoloration, and I did notice that sometimes the water would taste funny every now and then, almost metallic. Upon inspection today, I found out that the discoloration was a rust spot that penetrated from the interior wall to the exterior wall of the bottom chamber. Really disappointed about the quality control of this product, and wondering if the rust was contaminating our drinking water.

As long as you clean it out before using it the water tastes great. It honestly makes my tap water taste better because it keeps it so cold. If your bottle is making it taste strange try washing it or if your using the straw lid change the straw.

Not at all. I've used it for hot beverages like coffee, or cold ones, and never gives any taste to it.

i have been using mine for about 6 weeks. i only use gatorade made from home in it but have not noticed any plastic taste at all. it seems to be holding up to work well and is easy to run through the dishwasher.

I have never noticed a metal taste. I usually put it in a glass jar of water with a little ice. I like the feel of drinking out of a cold straw!

I've used it twice and the first time was without a funny taste. The second time there was just a hint of funny taste the first draw. I am not sure if this was due to a bit of old water left in tubing which is hard to clear but it wasn't bad and was gone after first sip. I've tried other bladders with a much more obvious taste. All in all it was much better that all other bladders I have tried in past.

I have had trouble with the spigot. You have to open the top so that the spigot will work but it seems to jam up. I have pipe filtered it but it doesn't work like I would want it to, it should be metal. With that said the rest of it is great I just use the spout instead. It is really great for aging it really smoothed out the high and low spots

It is almost flavorless. I added a scoop to my baby's water bottle and it tasted a little sweeter than plain water. She drank it without a problem.
