I had attributed this to either my aging or as a result of a head cold.
Neither my wife nor my son had noticed a difference. Yesterday, we tasted tap water verse bottled water and all selected the bottled water as better.
This morning, I brewed the coffee using bottled spring water and I didn't notice the odor and the coffee tasted much better to my wife and myself.
Partly in jest, I am wondering if this is part of getting old and cantankerous, or is this noticeable to others?

Invest in a water softener and carbon filter. They are worth the money. Water softener extends the life of your dishwasher, washing machine and refrigerator ice and drinking water dispenser. Carbon filter eliminates the taste and smell of your water from the faucet.
