Can I get a replacement for the mouthpiece? I boiled it and put in dishwasher and still has an ugly stain.

I imagine you can, but am not entirely sure. Sometimes you need to scrub the inside of the mouthpiece though. I use this set for cleaning OXO Good Grips Water Bottle Cleaning Set and quite useful for maintenance.

Patricia Brenes: One really great thing about these camelback bottles is that you can, indeed, get replacement mouth pieces, and straws. if you search on amazon for 'camelback replacement straw', or 'camelback eddy mouthpiece replacement', you'll have a choice of your preferred seller, or choose a new one.

Yes, you can buy new bites for it. normally they come with a pack of 4 bites in different colours.

Yeah, mine has vertical cracks up the sides now, and you can hear it crackling when I pour in the hot water. It's never been in the dishwasher, I always washed it by hand. It leaks coffee when pressed. Kind of disappointed in it. Back to the glass one, I guess.

I had the problem but then ran the descaling procedure from the instructions with the white vinegar - but a whole tank of it, not just a cup. You're also supposed to leave the vinegar in for 4 hrs which I didn't do. It worked and the smell and taste are now great. When I opened the tank before doing the procedure the smell was really noticeable so I realized I hadn't rinsed it well enough to start with. good luck!

Try running a tank of vinegar through it. I always use distilled water. If it's over a year old might be time for a new one.

Ours did that and later it messed up and we ended up exchanging it (unrelated problem). The new one did not have the smell/taste at all! I think there's something wrong with it.

Did you use a cooking spray on it before you used it. That's not good. It can cause stains that are very difficult to remove and clean. A scouring pad should do the job with some soap. Barkeep's Friend should certainly help. If all fails use an SOS pad.

(Copy of my own Post for your benefit) I've had this since Nov 2007 & functionally its performed well but attempted just now to contact the Ariete HQ in Italy seeking a replacement tray. The metallic finish (beneath the perforated stainless sheet) begain corroding on the inside corners within the first two months & has progressed to a point that it literally appears to be an active chemical reaction slowly working its way in six or seven areas. I now worry whether the internal parts might also be of suspect (read : CHINA) manufacture.

I did sometimes, but I realized it was user error. If the mouthpiece is not fully opened and the straw isn't all the way on, you can't get anything out of it. Hope it helps!!! That seemed to help for me :)

I have not have that problem (yet). We normally leave it with some water in it (probably a bad habit) but we normally use it on a daily basis and we do replace the water before boiling it. When we are away for a few days we empty it and dry it by hand just in case. I had the problem you mentioned (white spots, not rust) with my previous one.

I have a similar pot that discolors occasionally. I wipe the inside of the pot with white vinegar, full strength, and then wash normally and the staining disappears.

We had the same problem. First i just dishwash soap and a brush to get it off. Didnt work. Then i out some hand soap on the stains, rubbed it in with my fingers, let it sit for an hour and then washed it off. All stains were gone!

I just cleaned mine actually...I just took it apart entirely and hand washed it like any other bottle...make sure u don't wash the filter though...that was just how I did it!!

I he the same time. I'm using the second one I purchased and I'm making sure I clean it right away. The first one I soaked in hot water. I think it is more a stain then not being clean.

The mouthpiece is removed, amd the inatrument is turned upside down. A button is pressed and moisture leaks from the hole where the mouthpiece was.

I'm surprised to hear yours stains. We've cooked everything in ours and it has absolutely no staining or apparent wear. Maybe you got a defective item?

I don't have a dishwasher either, but I've never had an issue with a plastic taste on my food. Try soaking in hot water with lots of dish soap. Or Maybe contact OXO for a replacement?

The replacement for my original 8 qt German manufactured pot was made in Thailand. After 3/4 uses for soups and water for spaghetti the metal is stained inside. Don't know why and am asking for a replacement. I'll give Farberware one more chance.
