Best Answer

People put salt into their coffee in order to reduce its bitterness.

The chemists at About Education have this to say about it:

Question: Does Salt in Coffee Reduce Bitterness?

Answer: In some countries, the tradition, when preparing coffee, is to use brackish water, or to add a small amount of salt to the water that is used to brew the coffee. The reason given is that adding the salt improves the flavor of the coffee.

As it turns out, there is a chemical basis for this practice. The Na+ ion diminishes bitterness by interfering with the transduction mechanism of that taste. The effect occurs below the level at which the salty taste would be registered.

Problem solved!
