Does the plastic give water a funny taste?

I havent noticed a funny taste at all. I use the mugs for coffee and they work pretty well.

So far, I haven't experienced any funny taste and I pretty much use these exclusively for water... Sometimes the lid doesn't seem to fit correctly and it's like drinking from a dribble glass tough. Amazon has agreed to refund/replace these though, so I'm going to assume I just got a couple of bad ones

No, my wife fills with ice and water for the night and in the morning it's a solid block and COLD with no nasty taste.

Not at all. They say that the new cups use the safe type of plastic, I don't know if that's true or not but I can say that the cup is a great replacement for my old one. You should get it. I studied it long and hard and I am very happy with the performance of the cup.

I have not noticed any funny taste. I use mine every morning as I drink a ton of coffee:)

I fill my mug with ice water daily, drink it to the last drop and have never tasted any odd or different taste.

I use mine solely for iced tea, but I have not had any issue with a funny taste. I did wash them with soapy water prior to using them. I have since washed them in the dishwasher with no issue. The only downfall of these cups are that they are too big for my cup holder in my car. :)

As long as you keep it clean and the water hasn't been in for longer than a few days, there is hardly any taste at all. The longer you leave it the more noticeable a rubbery taste will become.

Hmm I just tried some out of ours and it tastes normal. I will say though we always use our Brita filter so it may just be a temporary taste when new.

No, I've never experienced a plastic taste to the water with the Design For Living Tritan Infuser.

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

We have never had any problems with a plastic taste from our kettle. However, one suggestion would be to clean it out with a strong vinegar solution and then give it a good rinse with dish soap. This is not an official "factory" suggestion, just something I have done in the past and works very well with coffee machines.

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.

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.

Yes. It seems durable and I have tested water that has set for a few days and there is no taste imparted.

I had no problem with tasting like plastic, I washed the water container with dish soap and any other parts that would come out. I made a few cups with water only and never had a problem.

I never noticed a "plastic taste" however my issue was the coffee grounds in the coffee cup which I find unacceptable

I honestly do not know if the sensor inside is plastic or not, but it does not give a taste to the water. I would know as I have a very sensitive pallet.I love this teakettle.

My husband and I both purchased these last year, and have had no problems - as long as you remember to blow the water back into the bladder after you drink. Water that sits in the hose does tend to get a gross, plastic taste but the water from the main reservoir is fine (just don't leave it sitting in there for days if you can avoid it).

Mine tasted a little funny the first few water fills, but was fine after that. I use bottled water in mine. You could try running a batch of vinegar water through it, just make sure you run a couple batches to rinse it well.

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.

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.
