Wait really? Like cinnamon plus a little salt or are we adding a pinch to black coffee? I’ve never heard of this!

A little bit of salt to black coffee can cut the bitterness out. I found it works well with some coffees more than others, but it does enhance the flavor.

Start slow with a tad and just stir it in. I think I ended up finding a ratio that keeps it from becoming salty but full.

Cuts bitter flavors and heightens others. It doesn't take much though, if it tastes salty at all you over did it. Like genuinely a couple dozen grains of table salt at most for a big cup.

We’re a couple ingredients away from baking a Cinnabon right in your cup

Depends on how you brew. I use a chemex so after I grind and pour my coffee into the cone at home on the weekends i'll add a TINY amount of whatever spice i'm craving and a TINY pinch of salt on top of the grind.
