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?

We have found that much of the water here in FL tastes like crap. the first thing we did after buying the house was installing a water softener to eliminate ALL of that, chemicals, minerals, and everything else.
The only noticeable bad thing was having to add chlorine tabs to the toilet to prevent mold . Thus telling you the water has a high chlorine content if no filter is added to system.
When you go out to eat, order a glass of water. You will find out quickly who has unfiltered water.
Many people will say the water tastes fine but, for many of us, good clean tasting water is noticeable when there is a lack of.
