Salting your coffee: negative result

[elfs]

So, following the hot new trend of putting a pinch of salt into your coffee to cancel the bitter taste, I have to say that I'm disappointed with the experiment. Either I tasted no difference, or the salt was sufficient that it distracted from the coffee taste, and I was unhappy with it either way.

Which is kind-of sad. When you blog, you want to be able to teach about something great, and I have nothing great to report. Salting coffee doesn't seem to do much for me. Then again, I may have a reason for that. See the next post.

Not that you need to, as you mentioned, and not that it helps with coffee purchased while out, but a pinch of dried mint leaves tossed in with the grounds when brewing will help tone down harshness without adding a noticeable minty flavor.
