A barista in Portland told me to try a pinch of salt in my grounds

I was complaining about a bitter cup at a shop there, and she quietly suggested adding a tiny bit of salt to the grounds before brewing. It totally cuts the harsh edge without making it taste salty. Has anyone else tried this trick with different roasts?

Works on dark roasts too, right?

Oh man, I hope so. I've been using it on my burnt toast of a morning brew for weeks.

Burnt toast" coffee? Salt fixes cheap beans too.
