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.

Yeah, I either roast my own or buy a light roast from the local roaster. I got turned on to the salt in the coffee thing from Ideas In Food a while ago, tried it, and stopped bothering. If you have bitter coffee you need to fix, that's what milk is for.
