I certainly recall the eggshell bit; lots of people did that, and maybe
still do. The salt thing, though...I'd not encountered anyone outside
the Navy who did that.

Me and the Mama got it from some waitress, at some truckstop, bouncin'
around this great county, some many years ago. Don't really bother
anymore, just bought a real Bunn! Gooooood coffee...
