Tell me about it, blocking helps a ton though.

Forget using salt at all because it's a terrible idea that can ruin your machine. You're just covering up bad coffee instead of fixing the real problem, like using better beans or cleaning your grinder. That tiny pinch is impossible to get right every time, and even a little salt builds up and gunks up your equipment. Good coffee doesn't need weird kitchen hacks to taste good, it just needs to be made properly. Throwing salt in feels like a silly trend for people who don't want to learn how to actually brew a decent cup.

That sweat means you gotta check for leaks after the show.
