What's your favourite coffee twist? (lemmy.world)

Hej Hej,

Recently discovered Espresso Romano and thought it was kind of crazy to add a slice of lemon to ones coffee. Then a colleague said he ads a small spoon of honey in his. So now I've been thinking about trying both of these, but also had me curios as to what else people add to their coffee? Let me know any twisters that you've either heard about or tried.

Salt.

Isn't the deal with salt in coffee that a tiny amount per cup (like three grains of table salt) will cut the bitterness of crappy coffee, but that's about it?

Salt cancels out bitterness in general. Next time you have grapefruit; try a sprinkle of salt.

It’s magical.

From the link:

Salt and Coffee: Not only does salt cut the bitterness of coffee, but it also smooths out the "stale" taste of tank-stored water. I've taken to adding a quarter teaspoon of kosher salt to every 6 tablespoons of grounds. That isn't really enough to taste, but it'll do the trick. And by the way, research has proven that salt is actually better at neutralizing bitterness than sugar.
