I have read that warm water is better absorbed as well. Also 2-3 g 2-3 times a day as our bodies only process that much. Made a difference for me. 10g makes me feel pretty good.

creatine has no taste at all, whoever told you that it tastes nasty most likely has a weak stomach. it might seem chalky, if your mixing too much in too little amount of water, but it still will be tasteless, no matter what company you buy or how much your mixing.

this makes no difference whatsoever, even if you drink cold water, by the time the mix hits your stomach its shot up to about 100 degrees. the only thing that will aid creatine in better absorbtion, is some form of juice drink.cranberry juice usually works the best.
