I fixed the most amazing pot of coffee this morning. I would offer to share, but it’s all gone. 🙂  What made it so wonderful? I’m so glad you asked …

Thanks to my culinary hero, Alton Brown, my coffee will never be the same. The boys and I love watching his show, Good Eats, and in one episode, he mentioned a little trick to transform your morning java: Add a pinch of kosher salt!

Seriously, a bit of kosher salt in the basket with the grounds makes all the difference in the world. The coffee is unbelievably smooth, not bitter at all … and now it sounds so good, I wish I’d made more! 🙂

Give it a try and let me know what you think!

P.S. I have also used plain ol’ iodized salt when I was out of kosher, and perhaps it’s all in my head, but I think the kosher is better.
