I used to think salt in coffee was ridiculous until I tried it on a bet
My buddy dared me to put a tiny pinch of kosher salt in my Folgers last week and it honestly killed the bitter aftertaste without making it salty at all. Has anyone else found a weird add-in that actually works better than you expected?

My third week of keto I was desperate for flavor and dumped a teaspoon of butter into my black coffee on a whim. It turned into this creamy, almost latte-like texture that totally shocked me. Felt wrong the whole time I was pouring it but damn if it didn't make that morning cup way more drinkable.

Oh man, the butter thing is wild. I tried it once when I ran out of creamer and felt like I was committing some kind of breakfast crime, but it actually worked way better than it had any right to. That foam on top was genuinely impressive for something that sounds like a prank. The cardamom thing makes sense though, Ive dumped cinnamon in before just to feel fancy and it did mask the burnt taste from my ancient Mr. Coffee. At this point I'm half convinced people are just trying to salvage their terrible grocery store beans with whatever pantry items are within arm's reach.

Read somewhere that in some parts of Turkey they put crushed cardamom pods right in the grounds before brewing. Tried it with a cheap pre-ground bag and it added this weird floral spice that covered up the stale taste completely. Also heard about people adding a tiny splash of vanilla extract to their mug, not the fake sugary syrup just the real extract. The alcohol cooks off fast enough and it just smooths everything out. Those two have stuck for me more than anything else.
