Do these have a metal taste to them when you drink through them? I know some stainless is aspirated to mitigate this.

I personally haven't experienced this. I know some people are more sensitive to this than others.

I have used them now multiple times and never got a metal taste. They are great.

My Husband who is super sensitive to metallic tastes hasn't noticed any and uses them on a regular basis. I also haven't noticed any metallic or strange tastes, they've been a wonderful investment!

I don't notice any metal taste at all, and I'm generally very sensitive to things like that.

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!
1009147
No. I don't find a metallic taste when drinking through these straws. They are awesome!

They don't taste metallic, but they feel super weird when you drink cold drinks through them. They are definitely a different experience than your normal plastic straws. I personally don't like them.

The tablets are similar in taste to a sweet-tart. They taste good going down, but leave a lingering metal taste in my mouth. I could no longer tolerate the metal taste so now I've switched to another brand. (Maybe it's just me, but wanted to forewarn.)

I washed both of mine with hot water and dish soap and left it in for a while..I never got a metallic taste to any of my beverages during use

Nope. Not to me. But I usually flavor my water with the Crystal Light Liquid thingies. But even when I'm in the hospital (and I'm there a lot) and they have pretty much the same ones I have water overnight and it doesn't taste like plastic at all.

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

I use mine solely for iced tea, but I have not had any issue with a funny taste. I did wash them with soapy water prior to using them. I have since washed them in the dishwasher with no issue. The only downfall of these cups are that they are too big for my cup holder in my car. :)

This is smaller than the other aluminum iSi siphons that I have. It seems to work just as well, with the advantage that it doesn't develop any metallic taste in the water. I've found that to be an issue with the aluminum ones. I've had the stainless steel one for about a year now, and no metallic taste. On the negative side, it is smaller than the aluminum ones (at least the ones I have) so you don't get as much seltzer for each C02 cartridge.

I've been using mine for several months and have never noticed a "nasty metallic taste." I use the hot water to make tea and have never had a problem.

no it doesn't, i also will not use something with zinc in it. been using wernets for 40 yrs, no metallic taste.

Yes. The temperature of the liquid really has no impact on the stainless steel, it's only if you have an abrasive cleaner when you wash them. The only downside I have found is when serving tea and some more picky friends commented on the "steel" taste - of which I didn't.

I havent noticed a funny taste at all. I use the mugs for coffee and they work pretty well.

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.

I have not noticed a metallic taste in either the hot or the cold. However, I do not use bottled water. I bought a refillable jug with a replaceable filter inside, the jug sits on top & looks like a water cooler bottle. You just fill with tap water & it goes down through the filter before going through the water cooler. The only problem I have had is that I am not happy with how cold the cold side is . . .. it cools it off, but i don't consider it COLD.

Yep, they use Splenda. I use them in latte and mocha concoctions and don't have any issues with after taste.

They don't rust and stain as easily as people say. I had the same concern, but I haven't had that problem. Just make sure they are dried properly. This is a very good quality set. Not sure where they are made, but they have the highest quantity of stainless steel possible.

I have 3 or 4 Hydroflasks and have never tasted any metallic taste. I use it with cold drinks, cold water, hot drinks etc. It is 100% stainless steel and should not impart any taste.

I have read reviews from others that say they have noticed a metallic taste. I have had mine for several months, and have not noticed a problem with the taste.
