Also we have a plastic rectangular shaped pitcher we fill with water each day to fill the coffee brewer. It is filled daily and immediately poured into the coffer brewer, but over a few months the inside of the pitcher will become coated with a black film. We are sure is from the black flakes in the water.
I have the same issue with a white plastic tea kettle. The black stuff is stubborn and doesn't respond to dishwashing liquid. What do you use to clean it?
