- auiya 7y agoAdding salt to water does not result in any chemical reactions, so the salt will not alter the pH level of water or the resulting coffee brew in any way. Most people just add milk/cream to alter the pH to neutralize acidity, but if you want to keep it black you need to use baking soda, not salt. Just a pinch, you don't need much.
- 1MachineElf 7y agoPerhaps you are thinking of "salt" as just NaCl. Sea Salt contains more minerals than just that - Magnesium being a prominent one. Magnesium is alkaline, and therefore, coffee with Sea Salt added is more alkaline than just regular coffee.
