Does this impart an off flavor to water?

There was no noticeable oddities to the taste of the water. Rather satisfied with the product.

Not in my experience, which was limited since I ended up returning it for other reasons.

No, there is no taste to the container but like all plastic if you bake it out in the sun it has a taste. If you keep this out of heat it will never give you any problems. Great product because is creates space when it goes down.

I haven't noticed any "off flavor", but I use it with a Sawyer filter and do not drink directly from the Nalgene .

It may, but I didn't notice it. I don't keep water in it for more than a day. Seemes the same flavor as water kept in rigid Nalgene bottles.

I have used the canteen several times and have not noticed any off flavor. Seems to be of very good quality.

I have not noticed an off taste. I use mine daily with tea. Both tea & coffee stain so weekly I clean with about 1/8 cup of bleach & a drop of dish soap. Use a bottle brush to really clean carafe walls. It does a wonderful job making it once again spotless & clean smelling. Just flush out good with water. Hope this helps you & removes the off taste.

Its odorless but definitely not tasteless. Mixing it into water is not good. Very bad taste. Mix it with some powder lemonade or powder anything citrus and it will taste just fine. I even mixed it in my nutribullete with lots of fruits and veggies and made my drink taste horrible.

Hi Kim, I haven't noticed any metal taste. I use alkaline water from the local water house, and use the full range of temperatures for brewing...though I do brew pretty strong, so I'm not sure if I would even taste it if it were subtle. Thanks, Tracy

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.

No but that's really a moot point. I mix it in with my protein shake and do not detect it. It has no flavor really either. You can even put it in water and it will sink to the bottom, but you just swirl it around then take drink, and add a bit more water if some is still in the empty cup.

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

It seems to dilute it slightly. Not enough to make a big difference in the flavor.

not really. I taste more of the water's impurities or elements than the bottle itself if left in there for a while (several days)

Every distiller I've ever owned has produced an odd smelling product.. I've owned this unit for a while now but maybe the odd smell/flavor I'm experiencing the same as other distillers (including all stainless steel models). I run my distilled water through a brita to remove the odd smell/flavor. Even store bought distilled water is run through carbon to remove the odd flavors. perhaps this smell you folks are talking about is different than the one I experience and only applies to the ones manufactured after the one I purchased.

I don't think it tastes. I add it to water with crystal light and I cannot taste it.

Hello! While reviewing this product we found that it contains no additives for flavoring. The reviews indicate that it has virtually no taste.

I didn't think it did at all, although I mixed with water not milk. Perhaps if you mixed it with milk you'd get better results, but based on my experiences the strawberry flavor was kind of recessed and I instead tasted a chemically sweet taste. It's not a terrible flavor, but I also wouldn't just drink it just for taste. It's good for its price though. You pay cheap you get cheap :P

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 is flavor in it! It has kind of a lemon lime taste to it really good. I don't think you could mix it with any this else. This really work's so try it!

Not really much in the way of any flavor...but I make capsules out of it anyway. You can mix it in orange juice, and you really won't even notice it.

We are on our 3rd case of the turkey and salmon flavor and there is very little extra water in the cans. I do not believe you would have the same issue with this flavor. It is pretty firm.
