For professional baristas, please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)
I still remember that in graduate school, a teacher used to share his experience of doing business in Afghanistan in class. As he spoke, he mentioned a short story in which a local partner took him to a cafe for a cup of coffee. When the coffee was served, the local friend enthusiastically added a tablespoon of salt to his coffee, which surprised him. He then said, Ah-- it tastes so salty and terrible! But because I wanted to do their business, I had to drink the whole cup of coffee, and I didn't even dare to frown my eyebrows for fear that they would find me unaccustomed to it.
Can you really add salt to your coffee? The answer is yes, and there is a habit of adding salt in many countries.
It sounds crazy. You must be frowning and making a sound when you are reading the article. Why would anyone want to put salt in their coffee? The answer is that salt reduces the bitterness of coffee, and sodium ion is the real key. Sodium ion is not a flavor enhancer or spice, but it does change the taste.
Salt can not only reduce bitterness, but also enhance sweetness and aroma. It is also possible that when we cook, we emphasize the theory that a little salt is delicious, because we no longer want to add too much processed seasoning to our food. We want to taste the simplest raw ingredients.
However, with the rise of boutique coffee, there are many raw bean qualities and baking methods that are no longer obsessed with the re-baking feeling of the past. We still hope that if you are reading the article, you will try to see the original taste of the coffee rather than adding a lot of seasoning.
Finally, after writing this article about salt, it reminds me of another Turkish chef who is famous all over the world because of his dramatic sprinkling of salt, that is, Saltbae Nusret.

Wish you all have a good coffee time.
