I hadn't heard of this before, but I did go ahead and try it because I had a cup of decaff already, and it works really well for me. But I enjoy that bitterness. Like, I was expecting to taste some saltiness or even some residual bitterness, but no. I'll keep it in mind, but I'm not a fan
Firstly and finally – NO! If I am drinking shoe polish aka NESCAFE, No amount of salt will matter. Another point – why would anyone want to drink something so nasty that they would want to disguise the taste of it a bit by adding salt? This is mind numbing – Think I will just stick to pulling shots and drinking Americanos and being thankful that I have the ability to afford great coffee beans.
YEs, all the time, since forever for me. I put some 'pinch' in the filter for the whole can that goes into the thermos. Yes, not the best cafee but to take with you it works. I don't know how much stays in the filter or gets into the cup at the end of course.
Call me a weirdo but I love to add pink salt and a little bit of black pepper to my coffee 🙈🙊
Can you use bath salts? Asking for a friend
james emptying the salt can in the nescafe mug to get rid of the awfull taste…
I actually learned about adding salt to coffee from watching an episode of Alton Brown's 'Good Eats'. Been doing it ever since when making coffee with 'inferior' grounds.
This is lit 🔥 no more bitter
I met some Dakotans and they put maple syrup AND salt in their coffee…I still dont know how i feel about it.
How can you slow your video
Buy a salt that has less sodium concentration like Diamond salt. Much easier to control amount and it's not extremely salty.
I like to add sweetener directly to my grounds before brewing. I haven't noticed it affect the brewing, just that my coffee is now sweeter and I don't have to stir it. Now I'm tempted to try a pinch of salt instead…
Coffee salt-sense … quell bitterness, keep true flavor. Less bite, smoother real coffee pleasure. I learn so much here. Much appreciated! But who drinks that kind and comes here? Probably several-several someones, and they’ll leave happier for it, be glad they came. Coffee Up!
what scale do you use at your house for pour over v60s
I suspect I might be in the group of people who find that salt does not help to cut the bitter taste.
A while back I tried salt in my coffee, I did just a pinch of table salt in a relatively large mug. My sensitivity for salt is really low, and the primary flavours I remember from this experiment were bitterness and the salt. I've had some pretty bad coffees in my time, and I would still much rather drink burnt Tim Hortons coffee than re-experience the flavour from my salted coffee experiment
I can barely ever taste the difference. But I've never actually tried it side by side, one with salt and one without. So I'll have to do that.
hopefully maybe, but not
I just dose half a turn of a salt grinder into a cup which is enough to affect the bitterness but not to taste. I do use himalayan rock salt to get the extra minerals and have been doing this since I gave up the sugar – sometimes I just go straight black but at least one cup a day will have the salt. It's similar to adding salts to a beer to reduce the bitterness which I have had to do on occasion on some homebrews. 🙂
What I grew up hearing was that if you reused the coffee grounds (like they did back in the day) you should use salt to keep some taste. (I am half Finnish and half Swedish and I have heard this from both of my grandmothers.)
My formula: 55gcoffee (grind 6 on my ODE) to 1L filtered water, and 0.3g kosher salt sprinkled over the grounds before brewing. Nice and smooth, rich coffee. Medium roast is my favorite at present.
I remember in my early 20's when you got really drunk, you'd be given salted coffee to make you throw up (arguably) to sober you up… granted you were supposed to add quite a lot more salt than your test here.
A pinch of salt in beer can be nice as well. And oats with a bit of salt instead of sugar is something I enjoy.
I am confused by something being both bitter and sour, don't those tastes correspond to a substances pH? Sour being acidic while bitter being alkaline? If so, than coffee can't have both sourness and bitterness at the same time, as they'd cancel each other out, and I am not sure if it would be possible to have bits of the coffee being less than 7 and other bits being higher, because it's a thoroughly mixed liquid.
I once heard a story from a guy who was in the Navy. One of the guys made coffee and everyone loved it. He got tired of making it one day and decided to make it using sea water. Because on ship you can chose to get either fresh water or sea water depending on what your need water for. And everyone LOVED it. So he had to keep on making the coffee.
Count out 12 individual salt grains and then 25 individual salt grains per cup. It makes your coffee lifeless. I say no.
That said, I don't drink really crap coffee. What if the salt came in the form of sodium carbonate and you added it to the water you boiled? CO2 might help push the water through a mocha pot at a lower temperature. The other question is could it help with stevia which is awful?
So this is the first video I'm watching of James, and seeing a person putting salt with a pipette into his coffee does truly live up to the "weird coffee person" moniker behind him. Also, I'm Scandinavian but I've never heard of salt in the coffee before! Although some northerners here put a specific salty cheese (leipäjuusto) in their coffee. Would love to see James try that delicacy, haha!
I wasn’t ready for the twist that was Nescafé original
Woo! I no longer feel weird about adding butter to my coffee!
I'm going to make up a little dropper bottle like this, and just call it "James' Tears"! It's surprising how much watching these videos has changed my every day experience of brewing (mostly pour-over) coffee.
Might be worth trying MSG too.
if you use suger a little bit of salt is even better.
Why has anyone requested this subject ? FFS
I add Cento* sea* salt* very little amount to my cafe. When you make a coffee sometimes I add unsweetened* cocoa* with dash of cinnamon rated star* delicious
