All the Egg Hacks We Never Knew We Needed in Our Lives

Surprisingly, adding eggshells to hot coffee can transform its flavor profile, making it less bitter. Coffee, an inherently acidic drink, encounters a balancing act with the alkaline properties of eggshells. When incorporated into your brew, the eggshells effectively counteract bitterness, resulting in a smoother, more mellow taste.

This trick isn’t limited to your home coffee routine; it’s also handy for campfire coffee preparations, where loose grounds are boiled in a pot of water. In this scenario, eggshells play a dual role by not only settling the grounds at the bottom of the pot but also taming the bitterness, delivering a more enjoyable cup of coffee.
