Thank you! I would have researched more before I did it, so thanks for saving me that time!! What I found and posted sounded like WAY too much salt. And not enough coffee?
I guess it not only reduces the bitterness, but also brings out the better flavors.
It sounded like a whole lot but the new numbers seem easy to try, I tried a tiny sprinkle in my 4 cup maker this morning but with no real impressions to report, but it seems like a harmless thing to experiment with.
