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.

The bitter taste of coffee is acidic. Milk is a base. Acid vs base, the base neutralizes the acid.
Much like drinking milk, or eating sour cream after eating hot peppers.
