My coffee tastes of Plastic!
Bought a lovely (re cheap
) Kenwood kettle, have boiled it about 5-6 times now. Can't get rid of the plastic taste.
Over to the great combined brains of Scoobynet for some "Old wives solutions"
Please hurry as I fear I may have to keep drinking plain water

That's the plasticising agents leaching out of the plastic into the hot water.
Repeated boiling just adds more plasticisers into the same wtaer.
Plasticisers are thought to cause sex changes in fish so beware - your **** may fall off!!
Bin it and get a steel one.
