Does it make the tea taste like the plastic or anything funky?

Actually, I haven't noted any plastic or funky tastes - and the people I've purchased them for didn't comment on any taste either.

I haven't noticed that when I've used it, although I do drink tea that has very strong flavors (spiced/cinnamon, etc).

It doesn't affect the taste at all I've had it for a year and it's been great

I don't know.... I don't think it would taste very good for starters. The taste is tangy, not sweet. It has a bite to it...kind of like 7Up. I think as long as the tea was just warm, and not HOT that the bemeficial properties would remain intact though. Some such things basically die (for lack of a better word) in heat. I just add mine to a little bit of water (like about half an inch of a bottle of water) and then shake and drink right before bed. (I can't handle much liquid before sleep or I'll up running to bathroom all night.)

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.

Good question. I tried a quick dip in boiling water and it faired ok but made the plastic look a little fuggly (lost luster and slightly warped the screw on part). Going forward I just wipe down with alcohol.

I would say -- try it --- if it does change the flavor of your coffeewash it real well with hot soapy water and find something else to useOr buy a new BonJour for your tea

No, it doesn't taste or smell like plastic. The only thing I don't like about this model is I could never get the programmable brew to work. Something with setting the time somehow is not working.

Yeah, it's all plastic. You'd have to take tea leaves out first by hand tho.

I never noticed a "plastic taste" however my issue was the coffee grounds in the coffee cup which I find unacceptable

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.

Yes. Or at least it does when I add it, but doesn't give the same taste elevation as it does a chai ! This tea uses a Vietnamese type cinnamon which reminds me of red-hots candy. To me it is a refreshing change for my taste buds - I prefer mainly to just add sugar with the occasional milk.

It has a warming plate. I usually brew tea and it tastes fine after 30 minutes.

No it doesn't. It tastes nice too. I usually drink earl grey and I enjoyed this lighter decaffeinated tea

I don't know what type of plastic the stopper is made of or the lining of the cup, but I have no plastic smell in mine. I use it daily with very hot tea or coffee.

Did not keep the box so I can't answer that question. However, I notice the tea does taste sweet - not sure if added sweetness or the number of ingredients that caused that.

Sorry it took so long to respond. Never really had much of a plastic taste with mine, but I have always us the strong button.

we only used ours for a couple weeks. I thought I could taste plastic. Ended up odering a percolator coffee pot and we love it
