Coffee tastes like plastic, rubber, or chemicals when brewed with a Fellow electric brewer.

Safety first: Ensure all cleaning agents are food-safe.

• Deep clean: Wash removable parts (brew chamber, lid, carafe) with mild dish soap and rinse thoroughly.
• Flush cycles: Run 2–3 full cycles with plain water and discard the water.
• Change water source: Use filtered or bottled water to rule out tap water issues.
• If taste persists: Inspect silicone gaskets and plastic parts for degradation; replace any that appear sticky, discolored, or cracked.
