A tiny bit of salt is actually pretty damn nice in coffee! And I mean a small sprinkle on an entire pot

Some people put butter in their coffee.
But that's actually delicious though.

I’m not sure about salt, but my mom puts red wine in it. 0/10 not recommended.
Are you sure she's your mother and not an alien?
This is hilarious
A pinch of salt can lower the bitter taste of coffee, and is also good in dark cocoa. It also helps make grapefruit taste sweeter and If you are making veggie noodles (turnips make great veggie noodles) soaking the raw noodles in a little kosher salt/water can take the bitter flavor out so they taste more like pasta noodles when they are cooked.
The night before my wedding I had stayed at my folks place. In the morning I was making a coffee and my mum asked if I was nervous. I said, nah not really.
Took a sip of my coffee and I had put salt in instead of sugar.
Do not recommend.
I do it every morning. Once I started, never looked back.
Wouldn't surprise me. I used to know a girl who put black pepper in her milk.
Putting salt in coffee is relatively common. Put a very small sprinkle in shitty coffee and it makes it a lot more tolerable. Think bad waiting room coffee etc.
Black pepper has something to do with absorption by the body.
Yeah, this is a trick that can help sometimes. I've seen competition class baristas do it and shrug.
People at work put hot sauce in their coffee
Never tried salt, but I have had bacon flavored coffee, and it seems to me like a lot of the flavor of bacon is salt, idk… bacon makes pretty much everything taste better
I’m a fan of a little caffeinated Dr. Pepper myself. ;)
