Do the straws have a metal taste?

Crisp and clean . Taste even better with alcohol drinks after you pull them out of the freezer and pop them in your drink while your making it. Try it. Enjoy.

NO. However, see if 7/11 is putting out their aluminum straws this year. They are way better. These are small.

Not at all. I use them to drink smoothies and juices, and it has no effect on the taste.

Unsure - tossed the packages, ran through the dishwasher, and have been happy with them for several weeks now. No "metallic" aftertaste, that some mention in reviews of other brands.Hope this helps!

Hi Kim, I haven't noticed any metal taste. I use alkaline water from the local water house, and use the full range of temperatures for brewing...though I do brew pretty strong, so I'm not sure if I would even taste it if it were subtle. Thanks, Tracy

The lids are metal and the middle hole is perfect for a straw. I've also put them in the dishwasher and they did great. I would highly recommend these!!!

Not that I know of; but I too care about my drink containers & use of safe plastics--- and I still use these straws since they are so large. So I would encourage you to determine how much you really think they would work for YOUR needs; as I did.

I had no problem with tasting like plastic, I washed the water container with dish soap and any other parts that would come out. I made a few cups with water only and never had a problem.

Yes. They a have a corrugated section few inches from one end that allows the straw to bend to about 60-70 degrees.

They appear to be made of plastic with a thin metal overlay. I can see machining marks on the "metal" but it is not magnetic. Perhaps 18/8 stainless? The inside gasket is held in by the same metal coating. No metallic taste created in the water.

I did not taste any metallic taste at all. But then I also use the electrolyte tablets with lime/lemon flavor so it might be hard to detect any thing.

Not at all. I tasted a popsicle and there was no trace of plastic taste or smell. They wash just fine.

I have read reviews from others that say they have noticed a metallic taste. I have had mine for several months, and have not noticed a problem with the taste.

These straws are silver color stainless steel . I think they are a very good value. I recommend buying pipe cleaners or a small bottle brush to clean them.

A family I know said that the first times they used the straws the water tasted chemical but that it's pretty much gone now. I don't know how long they've been using them for. I know they got these personal straws last year.
