Stainless steel starts with a metallic taste, but after first week of use it is usually gone. Also there is titanium and aluminium.

Or just get a reusable plastic one, perfect can be an enemy of good.

Individual use of plastic is not relevant, as long as it goes to landfil and not ends up in the ocean througg recycling fraud. In UK most plastic ends up sent to poland, where it's burnt or sent onwards to Turkey where it becomes untraceable. I stopped recycling plastic because the system cannot be trusted - at least if it stays in UK you know it wont be hurting anyone.

Half of plastic waste in the ocean waste is discarded fishing nets.

I once did a fair amount of experimentation and found titanium to impart a much stronger metallic taste than stainless steel.

Aluminum is not an amazing food contact surface — it’s quite reactive. I would not use an uncoated aluminum bottle for anything other than plain water.

I have never tried titanium, surprused to hear it does that.

The aluminium bottle I have is likely coated, I wouldn't know - i do use it just for water, and it seems fine.
