Does it give the water a plastic taste?

I don't know about that but the plastic did melt in the dishwasher, top shelf.

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

No, if you taste the filtered water and find it nothing wrong then there is really nothing wrong with it. But if it tasted like tap water, that means it's not doing the job.

I dont havr the sheet with me but i think so. On Berkeys website it will tell you what it filters. I know it does remove alot of taste from it. I live on San Antonio Texas and we have aquafer water. When I drink my girfriends Berky water it has almost no taste at all.

No I've been using it at my job for months and not a hint of plastic taste ever.

Mine has been in constant use for quite some time now and I have had no residual plastic taste in my coffee. I am a serious coffee drinker and am particular about the flavor. I can assure you that I haven't experienced it with this particular pot.

no not at all it's extremely clean and tastes far better than plastic. It just tastes, to me, like it does out of a glass.

No, only the outside is stainless steel. The water resevoir and everything else inside is plastic. I know what you mean. I was looking for something that's all stainless steel on the inside to try and avoid that "plastic taste" you often get from some coffee makers. Eventually I gave up as I couldn't find anything like that! BUT, somehow this coffee maker does NOT give you the plastic taste in the coffee. This is now my second time owning this model, and I'm quite pleased.Yehuda K.

I soak mine for 15 minutes in a cup of water before putting it in the coffee maker and I do not taste anything "plasticy."

no -- not at all. I have been drinking far more water since I bought my Brita Water Bottle. I have also found that there is no funny taste added to any water that I have used in my bottle. I love it!

In my experience with water that had a moderate level of chlorine, it had removed it well. I've never had any taste make it through the filter other than crisp water.

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.

For my family ... no. We just could not tolerate the metallic taste of the water after it was filtered with the EveryDrop. We use the 3-gallon water jugs that we fill at a water filter station (.25/gallon). We tried the EveryDrop once, did not like the taste of the water but gave it another chance - the second 3-gallons tasted worse. We threw the filter in the garbage.

I don't know either. We have tried two of them and they both smell awful. If you start with fresh water, it doesn't pick up the odor too badly, but if you let the water sit in the reservoir very long it quickly starts to taste like the plastic smells. I have thought about filling the reservoir (without water) with baking soda to absorb the odor (same concept as using it in your refrigerator or cat box), but I haven't actually done that yet. Don't really know if that would help.

I do not know the answer to that - I can say the water does taste better with it than without.

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.

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