It is now 2 months since I bought this kettle. I was disturbed at first by the strong taste of boiled water - it tastes like TCP. I thought it would go away, but it is still there after 2 months.  It is not detectable in tea or coffee, only when you drink hot water. It is not the water supply as I have tested using another old kettle. Can you say what it is? I have stopped using the kettle in case it is harmful.
