I have read mixed reviews about these giving off a plasticy taste. That is my main concern. What do you think?

I absolutely love these water bottles. No funny tastes and they wash great in the dish washer too. Look brand new still.

My kids have not complained about any plastic taste. They used them the whole school year, and no complaints! We love them!!!

I purchased these for my kids to use with lunches we sent with them to school each day. All three kids used them this past school year and never complained of that at all. They enjoyed using them. I really liked that they were dishwasher safe too. Hope this helps.

Our never taste like plastic. I have over 20 bottles and we use them every single day. I wash them in the dishwasher and we love them.

We have used a set for almost a year. They are washed in the dishwasher daily. No complaints from my child yet.

I think they look like glass from afar, but they definitely don't *feel* like glass...they're much lighter. Haven't had any problems with the quality of the plastic so far.

I would lean closer to plastic. Definitely not fruity from what I remember.

Definitely tastes better in GLASS! ALSO, if you want to sanitize the bottle, it is dishwasher safe. I think the plastic ones seem 'icky' after a while, even with a good handwash (around the lip of the bottle). Plus they expire and you have to buy new anyway. The glass ones are substantially heavier, but well worth it. I bought a whole new sodastream system just so I could use the glass bottles! I was not happy with those rather expensive plastic ones that you just have to keep remembering to replace. No BPA worries with glass.

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

I am unsure. I threw all of them in the trash. They taste terrible. I think cardboard taste better. I am not saying this because they taste terrible by themselves, but it makes anything you put them with taste bad as well.

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

I didn't notice a difference, I thought they were going to feel all cheap and plastic when you drink out of them but they aren't. Love them and used them all summer long and friends comments on how great they were also.

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.

Well Leslie, I'm not shure if you want to know if their toxic or if the plastic is stretchy/flexible so I'll answer both! On the box it says nothing about Anny harmful chemicals in the plastic but I simply ran it under some water just to be safe. Now if your wondering if the plastic is stretchy/flexible yes most defiantly their super stretchy yet theirs no leaking when you drink with the straw. I hope this answered your question, if not ask again but maby with a little more detail, have a good day Leslie!

I use them 3 to 4 days a week. I love them. I drink well water and the water is great and I have never tasted plastic.

Hit or miss. The first one my parents bought was great after a few rinses. Bought another for myself and never lost the plastic taste and tried everything. Had them send me a replacement and still a plastic taste. I now brew coffee by French press. :)

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.

No. There is really not much plastic taste. Even with hot water where you would expect some of that taste to come through, that is something that I've never found with the AeroPress.

There will be a plastic taste at first due to the lines being new. We installed an ice-maker filter kit (like you would find at Lowe's or like http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/social/swf/B003DA62T2/o=ShareProduct/ref=tsm_1_aw_swf_d_sp?vs=1) to minimize this temporary issue.

I don't remember how mine looked, but I do remember, how good they tasted. As a matter of fact, will order some more!

No idea, but they sure smelled plasticy, water tasted nasty. We washed them out with vinegar and water, then baking soda and water and drained the water twice. Now, it's fine.
