I know I am not alone when I say this, but I wake up looking forward to my morning cup of coffee!! It is such a delight! It is even more delightful when you get to sit in your pjs and enjoy every sip of that “warm hug” in a cup before starting your day. But, I’ll take coffee on the go as well. Still delicious.

We’ve all had those cups of coffee that are perfect. They taste exactly how we like, the temperature is ideal, the flavor is exact, and each sip is oh so yummy!

And then … we’ve all had those cups of coffee that leave us disgusted! They taste like we’re drinking 10 day old burnt tar or like they used one whole coffee bean to brew an entire pot of coffee.

That anticipation for a good cup of coffee is quickly dashed to the ground and we are left disappointed and a little on the angry side. (Admit it, you know you’re a little moody without a good cup of coffee to wake you up in the morning)

Well, what would you say if I told you I have a simple trick that will transform that gross cup of coffee into something that you can drink and find enjoyable…

I know it sounds like a stretch.

When I read about this trick for the first time, I was skeptical as well. I didn’t believe it until I tried it, and now I am a firm believer!

The trick …

It isn’t adding a ton of sugar or flavored creamers in hopes to mask the let-down-in-a-cup.

It isn’t spending another $5 on a new cup of coffee.

The trick is … adding some salt to the coffee. Plain old table salt.

Salt?!? Say what?!? 

I know, it sounds so strange, but I promise you it works! The salt will cut the bitterness of the coffee, and round out the flavors, thus making any awful cup of diner (or wherever you are) coffee into something you can actually drink.

I recommend slowly adding the salt. It doesn’t need a lot. Just a small pinch.

You can add the salt to an already brewed cup of coffee, but you can also add it to the grounds before you brew coffee. I use this method often, it really helps when you have ground coffee that isn’t as fresh as it should be or you happen to be using ground coffee that you don’t like the roast/blend/flavor of.

Try this out! Let me know what you think.

Loads of Love,
