Twice boiled water

[Billy_Sugger]

Since the birth of her second kid , 8 years ago , my sister in law no longer likes tea only coffee, but also can tell if the kettles been boiled twice . Anybody else heard of this ?

Possibly she hears the kettle whistling/boiling twice?

[Billy_Sugger]

No she can taste it , it's weird if you ask me !

Long shot but women often experience a metalic taste in their mouth during pregancy. I know I can taste the element if the water has been in the kettle overnight...

I can tell if the water is reboiled, it changes the taste of the drinks.
I always empty my kettle as soon as I have finished with the water and rinse it out with fresh cold water.

Are you pregnant NoMercy? well blow me down.

[NoMercy]

No I am not, Dina. But I do have very sensitive tastebuds. Tastebud sensitivity is also common in pregnant women.

boiled water do have a different taste.

[carlton23]

I think it`s because any lime/and or chemicals in the hard water areas has been boiled out and is adhered to the insides of the kettle so that it alters the taste.

I always fill with fresh water even if someone says "it boiled a few minutes ago".

[bushbaby_de]

its because boiling reduces the amount of oxygen in the water, so twice boiled water tastes much flatter

Thanks all

At least, you kmow that there are no bugs left alive when it`s been boiled twice.
