How does milk reduce bitterness in coffee?

260 views

While making my morning coffee it struck me that a dash of milk reduces the bitterness in coffee, yet the same amount of water doesn’t dilute the coffee as much, so got to thinking, what is it in milk that lessons the bitterness in coffee? I did a google search and was met with “X best ways to reduce bitterness in coffee” which didn’t help.

Put cinnamon or cinnamon sugar on the grounds before you brew it, and put a drop of vanilla extract in your coffee when it’s ready Also, you can buy those Flavored syrups that the gas stations have where the coffee is (hazelnut, French vanilla, caramel and blueberry). Heck, before the pandemic, the WaWa’s had these really tiny marshmallows that would melt in the coffee. Since the marshmallows disappeared, I’ve substituted those with whip cream, lol.

Also, make extra coffee, fill an empty ice cube tray and freeze it for coffee cubes that cool your next few batches without diluting it.
