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

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

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

It does have a slight taste, but nothing unpleasant. It's like Leslie said, when you walk on the beach... :D

I got mine last summer. No I never noticed a bad plastic smell on the one I have. This is all I can tell you though.Susan

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?

I have never experienced any plastic taste with the ones I own and I have purchased three of these. My grandchildren and great-grandchildren all enjoy the pitchers and seek them out daily for their water needs.

Not that I have seen. But if it is melting, you should see light-colored smoke and should smell plastic heating up as well.

Good question. If you were to think, the interior of the plastic might affect the taste of water, it probably isn't the case. I just find water tasting how it is supposed to be.

No. There is no plastic. And the coffee is very hot. I use liquid cre creamer so it is till hot after I add it.

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!

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

not really. I taste more of the water's impurities or elements than the bottle itself if left in there for a while (several days)

We never experienced a new plastic smell. Sorry can't help with this question.

No there is no weird metal or plastic smell or taste. I purchased it for my tea addicts and critics at work and we all love it. It boils the water to almost perfection according to what tea we are brewing. I really recommend it.

Yes. They taste and smell like plastic and it gets worse over time. I won't be buying them again.

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.
