Hi all, I use this little nesting cup on many day trips for brews and the occasional soup or supernoodles:
Cheap and cheerful and does the job. Except tea from water boiled in the cup has an odd taste to it, to the point where my wife outright rejected a cuppa from it the other day, which is deeply worrying.
Today I boiled water at home in this pot on a wood burner, and made a cup of tea in an identical manner to a cup of tea made normally in the kitchen - same water, same ceramic mug etc. Definitely an odd taste and the water even looked a little cloudy.
I store a meth stove with mini bottle of meths in the pot, but in a Ziploc bag. Could this have tainted the steel somehow? Anyone else noticed an issue like this? I'll admit that on the scale of calamities facing the world this is not up there with covid and global warming. And yet it bothers me...
