A unique brewing technique where a pinch of salt is used to neutralize the natural bitterness of coffee. It smoothens the flavor profile, enhances the underlying sweetness of the beans, and is especially popular for making low-quality or over-roasted beans more palatable.
1. Prep Grounds: Measure your favorite medium or dark roast coffee grounds. 2. Add Salt: Add a tiny pinch of sea salt (about 1/8 tsp per 6 cups) directly into the dry grounds before brewing. 3. Brew: Brew your coffee as usual using a drip machine, French press, or pour-over method. 4. Balance: The salt should be undetectable to the taste; it should only serve to round out the acidity and bitterness. 5. Serve: Enjoy black to appreciate the enhanced smoothness, or add milk as desired.
