My brother insisted I try a pinch of salt in my coffee grounds

He swore it would cut the bitterness in my morning cup. I thought he was messing with me, but I tried it last Tuesday with my usual dark roast. Used maybe an eighth of a teaspoon in the basket before brewing. The result was wild, it actually made the coffee taste smoother and a bit sweeter. I've been doing it for a week now and I'm a total convert. Has anyone else tried this weird trick, or is my brother just a secret coffee genius?

Tried it once and it just made my coffee taste like salty coffee. Maybe it depends on the roast or the water?

Honestly @margaret_wright50, a tiny pinch in the grounds just makes mine taste smoother, not salty at all.
