For brewing
  • 1 cup freshly brewed coffee Use any brewing method.
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt Start with a tiny pinch between your fingers.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Brew your coffee as you normally do.
  2. Grab your salt shaker or take a tiny pinch of salt.
  3. Sprinkle no more than 1/8 teaspoon of salt over the pot or your mug.
  4. Stir well and taste. If bitter notes persist, add a tiny bit more salt, but don’t overdo it.

Notes

Experiment with the quantity of salt to find your perfect balance. Table salt works, but some prefer kosher or sea salt for a subtler flavor. Salt in coffee brightens the flavors and minimizes bitterness.
