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.

Nope, haven't noticed! We've had them since about the end of January. We have 4 in total (of the different designs) and we all use them in varying amounts. No problem even after several days of non-use. And two of us are pretty picky with our tastebuds!

I've had 2 different sizes for several months and haven't noticed one. Just be sure to at least rinse after each use and clean just like any other container.

I have had it so long, I do not remember if it had a plastic smell, but it doesn't smell of plastic now, just the rice I cook in it. I don't wash mine in the dishwasher. It has never changed the taste of the rice either.

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

I have bought several bottles and sets and I have never noticed a plastic taste.

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

I have only found two very small places that are plastic. The viewing area on the lid is plastic and a tiny slot for the filter is plastic. I'd say 99% is NOT plastic. BPA free? I do not know. I can say that the water tastes the same after heating as it did when it came out of the faucet. In other words, the heated water does not have an "off" taste. I really like this kettle and would buy another if I need to.

Yes, it pretty much tastes like plastic. It's not unbearable, however. I would recommend a carbon, i.e. activated charcoal filter to overcome this problem, if you can't get past the taste.

Any answer would be sort of subjective because one person might be more sensitive to that plastic taste than another person, but I personally have never tasted any kind of plastic taste in the water when heated. There are instructions in the package on heating a potfull of water and dumping it before using any. That may be the reason.

No. If you get a weird taste, wash it out with vinegar and baking soda. Water taste fine, after this. I use a lot of Platypus bottles.

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.

Yes. I took pond water from behind my house, strained it through a tee shirt to get the large particulate matter out and put it in. Voila, clean water that tasted pretty good. That being said, I noticed some taste, not overwhelming. The important thing is, that it is safe to drink.

I have owned three different models of Therapure filters, and none of them have had any sort of plastic smell. The housing is plastic, but I've never smelled anything plasticky.

The straw is plastic and in my experience didn't effect flavor. I don't have this bottle anymore though because the thread ring at the top cracked after several months and it leaked.

If they remain in the sun or car and get warm, the water tastes like plastic. But I rarely have that issue. I have 3 sets in my home (2 for adults and one for my child) & he has never complained about taste. I wash mine in the dishwasher and an extra rinse by hand after each use.

There is a filter in the spout that is plastic. I have had this kettle about two weeks now and have not found that the plastic gives off a taste, which was a concern of mine. If I leave the hot water sitting in the kettle with the lid on and then open it, I can detect a slight odor, and I don't reheat that water to use again. Finding a kettle without any interior plastic has been a challenge, but overall I like this kettle.

Depends on what you're asking. - If you mean does the water have a plastic-type taste to it, then I haven't ever noticed the water tasting like anything but water, even after a few days. Like Nightwatch said, just get it out of the way from the get go by leaving it full of water in the sun & rinse. - If you're asking if the plastic absorbs taste from liquids it carries (like gatorade or juice, etc.), I couldn't tell you. I've never put anything other than straight water in them.

No it doesn't smell of plastic to me. There is sufficient stream to treat adults as well as kids.
