How do I stop my coffee maker from making coffee that tastes like plastic?

I just bought a 4-cup coffee maker to replace my broken Krups. The directions mentioned that, before making the first cup of coffee, I should run water through the system first. I did this, but even after a month of using the coffee maker every day, the coffee tastes like plastic. I’ve been using the same filters, water, and coffee as I did in my old machine, so it has to be the new coffee maker. How do I get the plastic taste out of my coffee?

    sounds like a new coffeemaker. try cleaning it with vinegar and actually make a couple of batches of coffe after to clean that new plastic taste out.

    run a mix of water and vinegar through it….
    use equal parts of vinegar and H20, I always use a little
    more vinegar…because it creates a very clean taste
    and the coffee tastes FRESH after that flush….good luck

    try cleaning the coffee pot with a little vinegar and water. fill the pot with water add about 1/2 cup of vinegar and then run it through like making a pot of coffee. make sure to run just water through a couple times after this.

    My dad had the same problem when he bought this expensive 50 dollars or more coffee maker.I forgot the brand but his was red. I don’t know if the plastic taste ever wore off or not. I would return it.
