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.

No this is a really great water bottle no terrible tastes and keeps water cold for long periods of time

There never was an odor of heated plastic. Of course, since this heater is in our chicken coop, it may not have been noticeable.

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.

I cannot say there was a smell of plastic. If you've used a blower, then that is what it smells like. Heat. And it isn't a heavy scent.

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

Heat + plastic = slight scent of plastic. This coffeemaker gets the water hotter than others - one of the few that actually heats to proper brewing temp - so it might be slightly worse, but all plastic coffeemakers (and anything plastic you heat in) will give off a bit of a scent.Maybe you should switch to a ceramic pour-over or glass French press - you'd avoid any contact with plastic if you're sensitive to it.

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.

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

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.

We have not experienced any plastic tastes or smells. We are very pleased with the product and the coffee it makes.

Mine reeked of plastic for the first few uses and there was an "off" taste in the rice, but after 5-10 uses (maybe less) it went away. After the first 1-2 uses, I boiled water in it a few times and that seemed to help

My husband loves the cup. No it doesn't taste like plastic. He uses it every day when driving to work.
