A note to Knucklehead

[jekylnz]

Used a pinch of salt in my coffee today as well. Cool tip!

I love me some tea as well

Does the salt thing work in tea as well? ?

I added just the slightest bit of salt to my coffee this morning. It tasted like salted coffee. I guess I'm not a fan of salt in coffee.

I think you only need a pinch in about 4-5 coffees worth of beans...thats all i put in & i found it worked for me.I don't think you should be able to taste it.lol...did you grind with beans bob.?

Just a tiny pinch in the coffee before you brew the pot or 4-5 cups. You shouldn't taste the salt, you should only notice that the coffee is no longer bitter. (Use the salt when you make your coffee so strong that it would be bitter without the salt. Normal strength coffee doesn't need it.)

I commonly use dark Sumatra coffee in a cone filter to make a single 14 oz. mug of very strong coffee, which I sweeten with fake sweetener, and add a little bit of milk. Only that one big cup per day. It's never bitter. Salt (almost immeasurable) was added to the ground coffee after it was placed in the cone. In the future, I'll save the salt for rice and beans.

I wouldn't do it -- tea is not coffee; that is, it doesn't have the bitter taste that coffee has, so what would be the point?

You mentioned that it looked the quality of the tea in the video looks good. Are there any Middle Eastern grocery stores in your area? If there are, you may very well find Caykur tea. If you should happen to find and buy some, the leaves are very tiny, so you will need a fine mesh strainer to pour the tea into your cup.

Bitter coffee???
Bite your tongues!
Coffee is not bitter. If it is you are buying/drinking the wrong stuff.

Calm down ... a little perspective here. If you are responding to my last comment, bear in mind that I hate the taste of coffee, period. And tea is not bitter, regardless of the kind or brand, so there's no bitterness to "remove" by adding a binch of salt ... you'd just ending up with salty tasting tea.

Tea taste like crap when you put Kahlua in it.

 

[winston-smoker]

Then don't put Kahlua in it. Try some cardamom.

Salt + hot sauce + niacin = no more cold winter days on the lake. I prefer a lot of coffee so I can post at light speed. LOL
