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.

Milk contains sugar. You could also reduce the bitterness of coffee by adding sugar or sugar alternatives such as saccharin or stevia. Not to mention coffee creamer, which also contains sugar.
