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

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?

Unfortunately I do not know for sure. The descriptions I've found doesn't say nor does it say that on the bottle itself. But I can tell you that it keeps your drink hot and does not change the flavor in any way with the plastic!

Not sure if you are supposed to boil these. And if you've already done it, I'm not sure why you're asking. And yes , plastic bottles smell like plastic.

I have been using these bottles for over a year and have never had a plastic taste from them. Before the first use just wash good with hot soapy water and there shouldn't be a problem.

I have not noticed any plastic taste in anything I have made. The things I have cooked have been covered in pans or kettles.

There is no plastic taste now. However the machine stopped working after 3 months. The carafe lid was poorly made and held water inside. I would not buy this appliance knowing what I now know about it.

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

when you first get it just make sure to rinse it out. that would be the only time you will get that plastic taste to it. but after you rinse it out i havent gotten any plastic taste. sorry for the delay

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.

I did not notice a plastic smell. I am pretty sensitive to odors. Hope this helps.

It is plastic except for the bottom which is metal. I did not notice a plastic taste when I used it however.

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

Plastic, I did not notice any plastic taste to my boiled water. Pot works very well and I would recommend it for international travel.

Nope. Not to me. But I usually flavor my water with the Crystal Light Liquid thingies. But even when I'm in the hospital (and I'm there a lot) and they have pretty much the same ones I have water overnight and it doesn't taste like plastic at all.

We have never noticed a plastic taste on our food even from the first day using it. We have had a problem getting the broccoli smell off of the steamer once we cooked broccoli in it even washed in the dishwasher but not really an issue.

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.
