Hubby noticed that the coffee we had been buying seemed bitter. We use filtered water. ( And a new coffee maker ) So I told him to do what my mom used to do. Add a little pinch of salt to the grounds before turning on the coffee maker. It does work! We have tried several brands of coffee with and without the salt. SALT WINS ! I know people will say to cut down on salt, but the little dab it takes to make the coffee better is worth it.

Here in the UK to get a good cup of coffee, is like
getting blood from a stone, to say the least it could, drive me to drink only water,[ bottled of course].

I agree that the coffee is better with the salt. We've been doing that for a month or so and I think the coffee is better. Also I use the filtered water from our water in the door frig and keep in a container....in the morning I just pull that container and fill the coffeemaker. I also replace my coffeemaker fairly often. I don't care how much I clean with vinegar, the coffee never tastes as good as when the coffeemaker was new. They are so cheap these days that I just replace every yr or two. My coffee is important to me!
