If you let water sit in it for awhile, does it have a plastic-like aftertaste? Or does the water taste the same?

That's a really good question. The plastic container does have a little (very little) plastic or non filtered water like odor. But I don't think I smelled it much when I squart the water into a glass to drink it. It could be that I am pouring tap water into the bottle so I could be smelling that tap water odor.. I hope it helps.

I fill it up and leave them in the fridge for weeks sometimes and it's always tastes the same to me.

I've never left water in there beyond 24 hours but there was no difference in taste within that time.

We have not noticed a plastic taste at all. We also only use it for water. Hope this is helpful for you.

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.

I've been using it for about a month and haven't noticed a change in taste. Although I'm also no water connoisseur. If. It only occurs while in your fridge, possible it's due to other food odors.

No after taste. I even open the capsule, and add the powder to my water and drink it.

I have not experienced a "plastic taste" in any of the cups I have made - using coffee, tea, or cocoa. Do you use spring water when you make your drinks?

I have not noticed a plastic taste or smell. I do use the "Aroma" button for every pot because I only use 550 ml of water for one pot (makes two cups). The coffee is stronger but takes longer to make. Probably will not get this model again d/t the time it takes to make (at least 5 minutes).aah

The straw is plastic and I have not found it to affect taste. Fabulous water bottle

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!

Nope, tastes just fine. I am sure if you left it in there for several days at a time it might? But I never did so I am not sure about that.

Yes, mine came with the plastic water containter. Though not as nice as the glass one, it still works well and the large removable cover is nice in that it allows the container to be thoroughly cleaned.

Yes. The coffee or water is sitting on the plastic shut off. When you open the valve the liquid passes to the cup. It does not affect the taste.

Yes, the inside is also plastic. However, you don't need to worry - I've never had any problems with it. You don't get a plastic taste from it. A friend of mine has one in white (mine is the lime green), and hers is problem-free also.

I honestly don't know but it does have a plasticy taste when it's left too long in the drink(usually when it's all room temperature)

The entire kettle is plastic, including the inside body. However, we did not notice any adverse taste or odor from the plastic. We just finished a 5 week tour around Turkey where we used this kettle daily. We did get quite a bit of mineral build up, but it would usually scale off by itself and not attach too firmly to the plastic. In other kettles I have used vinegar to remove minerals. We love this kettle and will hopefully take it on many future trips.

The only plastic part on the inside is the removable filter, we have detected no taste at all from it.. The kettle although expensive is the best kettle we have owned, the ability to change the temperature is just an added bonus which I have found very useful...excellent kettle and worth every penny

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.
