The salt, and eggshells too, were supposed to remove the bitterness in
the coffee. UD


No matter if you use salt or eggshells there is no way to make bad coffee
(navy mess coffee) taste better.. It is bitter because of the type of
brewing method.. The water is too hot and then the coffee is left to stand
in the urns for hours, sometime the mess cook doesn't remove the old
grounds.. We could take the same coffee back to a shop pot and make great
coffee..
