The water tastes weird

Plain water is supposed to be tasteless. It's just water, to begin with. If it tastes weird, then there might something in the water.
I don't have a water filter. Most of the time, our tap water is good enough to be used in cooking. But lately, I noticed the water that I boiled taste funny. Can't describe the taste precisely. It's like a bit of metallic(?) taste. Not a lot, but enough to make me couldn't drink it.
So I thought, maybe there's something in the water or it's from my tumbler. But I went to First sister's house the other day. I refill water at her house and there's no funny taste from it.
Then the problem is not from my tumbler. Maybe it's the water. Okay, so I need a water filter. But I can't just go and get one just like that. The temporary solution would be buying mineral water to boil while Googling a decent price water filter. Did I ever mention I don't drink mineral water? That's why I boiled it first.
And guess what, the weird taste is still there. Now I wonder it's the kettle that contributes to this problem. Is that possible for that?

That is strange,,maybe it could be the kettle. Maybe you can find some kind of testing kit and see if there is anything up with the water. Does everyone think it tastes weird or is it just you?

We always buy water for drinking, but when for cooking we have filtered tap water - just to be safe.

Can you go to a store and buy test strips for water? I have some I use to test the water in my fish tank to make sure it stays in the safe range for my fish's health.
