If you add salt to coffee it doesn’t taste bitter anymore? just nutty dirt water. Same seems to go for other foods with bitter notes. How?

Iirc from Good Eats, salt binds to taste receptors for bitter. So you taste less of the bitter flavor.
It’s why sprinkling a tiny bit of salt on watermelon or other fruits makes them taste sweeter.
