Is there a plastic taste on a hot day?

Since I bought it recently I can't tell you because it hasn't been hot in Washington yet. But I did find out that if you wash it in super hot water with a fragrance soap it will taste like that soap until you rinse it and air dry it like 100x.That was through my own experience. But that taste is gone now and I still love these bottles.

I know what you mean. I don't recall tasting that plastic taste. But I usually have Zip Fizz flavored water in mine.

Not to me, I soaked it with water and a little bleach, thoroughly rinse and soaked with regular tap water for a few days and that's it.

Yes, this coffeemaker does produce a "smell" of hot plastic when it brews; the worst part, though, is that the coffee TASTES like plastic. We had a Mr. Coffee model that made GREAT coffee for approximately 7 years - OH! That I could find THAT MODEL again! I am online looking for a replacement for this coffeemaker. Any suggestions?

There was a mild odor from this hot water bottle, but I'm rather partial to the smell of real rubber (reminds me of my childhood). It goes away after a while. I always wrap a full hot water bottle several times in a thick towel to keep from being burned anyway, so it's not a problem.

It's all SST, only handle and lid is plastic which doesn't touch the water being boiled. I didn't have any issue with taste.

Not at all. I tasted a popsicle and there was no trace of plastic taste or smell. They wash just fine.

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.

You can do a taste test which is what I did. Plastic will give a chemical gross taste amber will have a faint to no taste at all. I believe you can do a heat test too by putti g it in boiling water I believe plastic will melt and amber will not.

Good question. If you were to think, the interior of the plastic might affect the taste of water, it probably isn't the case. I just find water tasting how it is supposed to be.

Any answer would be sort of subjective because one person might be more sensitive to that plastic taste than another person, but I personally have never tasted any kind of plastic taste in the water when heated. There are instructions in the package on heating a potfull of water and dumping it before using any. That may be the reason.

No none whatsoever. I don't recall any odor when I first received and after many many uses no plastic smell either. Remember you only have the hot water in the aeropress for about 10 seconds, then you plunge to extract your coffee

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.

You must have a bad one. Mine did not smell at all. Sometimes hot sunshine can cause plastic to smell. Try putting it in the shade for a few days. If something had been spilled on it you might try washing it off with a hose. Washing it with a hose is what you will do when you spill something in it. Final option is sprinkle a healthy dose of baking soda on it and let it sit for a day, then wash it off. If none of that works, get an exchange.

It's plastic and it gets REALLY hot...we wondered about that with all the bad press about eating from plastics which are used to cook food. Don't buy it...you will be sorry.

I've never experienced any plastic taste. I usually use home made pods, and don't experience grounds in my coffee cup either.

I have bought several bottles and sets and I have never noticed a plastic taste.

We've had these silicone popsicle molds for about a month. As far as I can tell, there is no plastic taste. My children love the popsicles I make in the molds, and if they had a funny plastic taste, I am certain that my children would complain, a lot, to me about it.

Our never taste like plastic. I have over 20 bottles and we use them every single day. I wash them in the dishwasher and we love them.
