Great, bad enough I'm still trying to learn to roast my own, now I'm going to have to figure out how to Add salt...

I can't wait to hear the results actually.

Saw this on another site,,,salt in my coffee: WTH,,,,I'm just now getting used to having cream in my coffee, now salt?

One time, I woke up really early and grabbed was I thought was the sugar bowl. Put 1 tbl spoon of "sugar" in my coffee a stirred it through. I took my first drink and quickly discovered it was salt instead. I broke the world record for the 20 yard sprint and spit that stuff right out.

Salt; a little goes a long way.

It will be a long time before I would even think about putting that in my drink ... if ever.

Here's a chowhound thread on it...

Gotta be good. I salt my cigars.

The top of the top coffee cuppers use salt to coax out a coffee's sweetness. As discussed in China Daily....I'll stick to apiary gold.

[sonic_mike]

will it pair with the gold plated cigar?

I put a couple of shakes of salt on top of the grounds in my drip maker because .. well .. my grandfather liked it that way and thats how my mother made it. Can't tell much of a difference with this low salt level but it definitely isn't salty.

Melamine would be the current Asian choice .......

Back when I used to bartend, I had a regular who would consistently put about 3 shakes of salt into his Amber Bock.

I've only had salty coffee once, when I was at a restaurant, and some douche tampered with the salt and sugar dispensers.

I always thought salt in coffee was a Navy thing.

Being an Air Force Crew dog for years I became a purveyor of bad coffee. For most of that coffee, salt would have probably helped.
