1. What is salted coffee? Why is it called salt coffee?

The taste of salted coffee is said to have originated from a garden cafe on Nguyen Luong Bang Street in Hue. Until now, there is not too much information about the true origin of this coffee.

The nature of coffee is bitter, depending on the method of preparation or quality of coffee, the bitterness will have different concentrations, but certainly will not disappear. So when making coffee, we need to soften them with ingredients such as milk, sugar, cream or salt.

It is a fact that sodium – the main component of salt, has the ability to neutralize bitterness. This happens because the taste buds will respond more strongly to salty rather than bitter tastes. Therefore, using salt may be even more effective in masking the bitterness of coffee than sugar. In addition, it also increases the available strength of the coffee by one level.

To get a delicious cup of salted coffee, you must choose pure coffee (not mixed with soybeans, corn, …). It is best to use roasted coffee beans.

The more perfect way to make salted coffee is to mix the ingredients together, then grind them in a blender until they’re completely combined. That will help the flavor get the balance between the saltiness of the salt and the bitterness of the traditional black coffee.

Preparation tools

The filter plays an important role to produce a delicious, standard cup of coffee. Aluminum coffee filter that is both safe and quick to prepare is the most suitable choice.

In addition, if you use black coffee, you should use boiled filtered water instead of mineral water to keep the original taste of this Hue coffee.

Ratio of ingredients

The salty taste of the salt resonates with the fatty aroma of the milk, which will balance the bitterness of the coffee, the richness that makes you “drunk” from the first time you enjoy it. So the ratio between these 3 ingredients is what determines the taste. You need to estimate the appropriate ratio, otherwise the salty taste will overwhelm the fat and aroma of the coffee.
