My uncle's salt trick for fixing bitter drip coffee
My uncle Bob visited last year and told me to add a tiny pinch of salt to my coffee grounds before brewing. I thought he was messing with me, but I tried it out of desperation after burning another pot of store brand Folgers. Turns out the salt cuts the bitter taste way better than sugar or cream ever did. Has anyone else had an older relative give them a tip that actually worked against all common sense?

Does the salt thing work on other stuff too? I've been doing that with cheap coffee for years and it saved me from drinking some real swill. My grandpa told me the same trick except he said it was for "when you screw up the boil like I always do" which is pretty much every morning for me too.

Did you always think salt was just for coffee, @richard137? I used to but now I'm gonna try it on everything.
