Does the taste of bottled water change when it is room temperature?


I have aways chilled my water in the fridge but I find when it's been left and warms up to room temperature it tastes vile (from tasting ok before I put it in the fridge).
So my question is,
Does the water actually change taste or does the plastic bottle have an effect on the taste of the water once it becomes warm?
----------

Yes I think it does. I dont drink water that has been chilled more than a couple of times either.

What's causing the awful bitter taste in my mouth during the night when sleeping?


For some time I've noticed an unpleasant taste in my mouth, particularly towards the end of my sleep. I have a bottle of water permanently next to my bed to remove the taste when I need to.

Yesterday I had a endoscopy procedure (ie. from the mouth) to check if there is a gastric 'reflux' problem. This possibility is something my dentist alerted me to during a routine examination recently. He said there was some evidence that my back teeth were eroding, possibly due to a reflux problem.

The outcome was that I had a rather expensive endoscopy procedure completed in a private hospital yesterday

The result was good. That is, the doctor confirmed afterward that every thing was normal. That is, he could see no reason why I should be having this problem. He also confirmed the walls of my stomach and throat were fine with no tumors, ulcers and any other problem.

Any suggestions as to how I can get rid of this awful taste in my mouth during the night?
----------

You asked : Any suggestions as to how I can get rid of this awful taste in my mouth during the night?

Okay :

1 - Don't sleep immediately after dinner ( have at least 3 to 4 hr interval ) .
2 - Consume a low volume diet specially at nights .
3 - If you feel posterior nasal discharge , take an ENT appointment for evaluation of any sinunasal problems .
4 - Use a tall pillow , or elevate the head of the bed ( about 12cm ) .
5 - Bottle of water is a good idea but don't use water , cola and coffee or tea with your meals .
6 - Avoid using too much fruit , specially sour taste fruits .
7 - Have at least 1 hr walking after dinner while chewing a sugar free gum .
8 - Stop smoking .
9 - Use less coffee and tea than you use previously .

How do they get veggie bacon to taste so real?


I eat veggie chicken, it tastes similar, but not exact. Veggie roast beef, is pretty far from the real thing, unless it's a veggie burger. Veggie Turkey is pretty close to the real thing too..
But veggie bacon tastes EXACTLY the same to me. My meat lover boyfriend even likes the veggie bacon. How do they make it taste like that?
----------

It's because real bacon is heavily seasoned too. It doesn't taste like that straight off the pig. They just use the same or similar spices.  (+ info)

How to prevent the bitter or burned taste in espresso?


I have my espresso machine for the first time. I love the caramel macchiato of Starbucks. I bought a espresso medium roast with the local brand of a supermarket but it taste like burned. I decided to get the espresso of Starbucks but it also taste the same. What do you think it taste like that? Please help. Thanks.
----------

Does your machine allow the water to boil? This is very important for espresso.

Some prefer filtered water. It helps.

But you also should contact the brand and ask why.

How do you make soaked or sprouted raw almonds taste better?


I don't like the taste of soaked or sprouted raw almonds. They taste, well, too RAW. They have that weird taste I just can't describe, but it's the same one that exists in all soaked nuts and seeds I try. Any tips on making them more palatable? I LOVE the taste of raw almonds before they are soaked though, and prefer the crunch too.
----------

boil them in a simple syrup then toast them off.  (+ info)
