Love the look but hate the plastic taste

Looks-wise this tumbler is awesome. But I should've listened to the reviews of the larger capacity version of this mug that mentioned the terrible plastic taste. Yes, the cap has a foul taste that taints your coffee when you take a drink. It's so disappointing. The mug is almost otherwise perfect. The other selling point was the easy to clean claim. Well, for the most part, yes. There are some small parts in the cap that are not so easy to clean - some silicone pieces inside that function with the trigger. I will have no idea if mold grows because those small silicone pieces are black. With diligent washing I hope to avoid mold-growth. Or perhaps I'll just not drink from the cap at all given the foul taste.
