I boiled a full pot of water at least 20 times, hoping it would make the nasty smell go away.

Took about a week to get rid of the nasty plastic smell

wash several times to clear plastic smell and aroma from unit.

But leaving water in the pot can draw a musty smell over time, and heating the same water over multiple times will boil the oxygen

In addition, there is a weird metallic smell inside that won't go away

After washing the inside thoroughly several times and boiling water in an attempt to clean it out, it still leaves water with a strange, toxic smell

When it didn't, I tried making a cup of coffee with the water, hoping that the nasty smell wouldn't affect the taste.

smells terrible ever after boiling many times

Best one available, holds the temp, so you can set it and take a shower, perfect for the exact temp needed without that annoying boiling water s***.
