A week or two ago, Sheng made a comment that may forever change my life. In case you missed it:
“speaking of coffee, check out this interesting blog post i read recently. apparently a tiny bit of salt can really improve the bitter taste. not being a big coffee drinker myself, i haven’t tried this. thought you might be interested though.”
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I want to confirm that this does work! Adding just a pinch of salt in the coffee grinds, when you brew a whole pot, really improves coffee. As Sheng mentioned, it cuts the bitterness, but I feel like it also helps you taste the aroma, if you know what I mean.
Anyways, try it!

ahhh–I’ve have to try that. Nothing like a bit of synaesthesia in the morning.
Dr. Food, let me know if you notice a difference.
I’m glad that your daily cup of joe is improved by just a pinch.
you’d better believe i’ll be trying this in the morning! i make a pretty mean pot o’ coffee and to think that it could be even better thrills me–thanks for the tip!
Thanks again Sheng!
Grace, I didn’t think my Kona could get better but….
Whoah, this seriously works. I’ve been trying to make my way through a lb. of very dark roast, the bitterness of which I was finding overwhelming. A pinch of salt mellows it out completely. Thanks!
Soopling, yay, now you don’t have to waste.
