Salted coffee appeared about 100 years ago, initially, this drink was used by Western sailors. For those who have to make long voyages at sea without fresh water, sugar and milk are even more luxuries for them.
In Vietnam, about ten years ago, salt coffee was sold at a garden café on Nguyen Luong Bang Street, Hue City. With the enthusiasm and creativity of the owner, the good reputation has become a favorite drink all over the country.
The nature of coffees will often taste bitter. However, the more or less bitter taste will depend on each person's brewing method. Just like adding milk or sugar, salt is also a spice to help users soften the bitter taste of coffee. Not only that, adding salt to coffee will help release sodium ions. This factor both helps reduce the bitterness of coffee and arouse the flavor so that the drink becomes more delicious and attractive.
