When making a brew water has a knack to it
Fill a cup of hot water and vinegar for half an hour then clean with a brush, rinse, boil once with clean water.
Use it for lime juice and hot chocolate for few days.
Water and white vinegar will descale your kettle which may be causing the taste. Follow these instructions:

If this is kettle - not beer, and tap water taste correctly, it may be sediment in the kettle, or if this is brand new kettle, need to be boiled over.
new kettle:
1. fill maximum allowed water, squeeze quarter of lemon juice in, bring to boil, allow to cool down for 10minutes, bring to boil again and totally empty it.
2. rinse well
3. fill again maximum allowed water, boil again and empty it
4. rinse again
fill and use as you would normally, this slightly acid solution will remove all traces of oils and conservants which kettle "survived" during production process.
old kettle with funny taste or smell
1. empty it and rinse well
2. fill it with "normal" coca-cola (that is with sugar and rest of tyeh "blessings") to maximum allowed level, allow it to stand at least 6hrs, sloshing and stirring it from time to time, better still, let it go for 12hrs (overnight)
3. empty it and rinse well
4. repeat procedure from "new kettle"
rather strong acids in coca cola will solve most of the calcium build up in the kettle, will release therefore binded chemicals which chage the taste/smell of the tea or coffee
hope you do enjoy your coffe :-) do not forget to vote...
